Ralf Altrieth - Misterioso - XXL

This painting is part of the very latest works still available from the 2021 period, a distinct cycle in the artist’s career, marked by a density of figures on transparent and vibrant backgrounds. It represents a rare variation in the series, focusing on only two figures.

Titled 'Misterioso', it is a unique work, directly from the artist's studio. Entirely hand-painted in acrylic on canvas, it is signed on the back and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Very good condition.

The photos are taken in natural light, as faithfully as possible to the true colors. The situation images allow appreciation of the painting’s dimensions and its physical presence. Proportions are preserved.

Created without a preliminary sketch, the composition is built in the gesture, through successive adjustments, until reaching a “rightness”: a balance between instinctive energy and controlled structure. This process gives the work a living energy and a strong presence.

With its monumental format of 180 x 155 cm, the painting commands attention, a fixed point in the space. The contrast between the central silhouette and the vibrant background gives the whole a living depth that transforms the space where the canvas resides. The figure immediately draws the eye and establishes a mysterious encounter.

German painter living in the south of France, trained from adolescence and then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Nürtingen (Germany) in the late 1980s, Ralf Altrieth has been exhibiting in France and Germany for more than thirty years, notably at MAC Paris, Galerie Théo de Seine (Paris), and Galerie Hartmut Beck (Erlangen). His works are today in private collections around the world.

"Painting is something bigger than me. It lets me go further, see more. I now feel that by painting I create myself." (Ralf Altrieth)
