- Inheritance: family of Kuno Schiefer
Kuno Schiefer (Stuttgart, 1948 – São José dos Campos, 1992) was a German painter and graphic artist who spent most of his life working in Brazil. His oeuvre includes paintings, drawings and prints, with the Brazilian period especially characterized by influences from tropical nature and the landscape. His work was noticed early and exhibited in important galleries in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. From 1985 he alternated between Brazil and Berlin, which had a significant influence on his artistic development.
In his work Schiefer developed from figurative representations of everyday objects to expressive, often abstract interpretations of vegetation and nature. His paintings are marked by intense colors, a strong sense of light, and an almost musical rhythm in composition and brushwork. Through the interplay between Europe and Brazil, a personal visual language emerged, in which he gradually freed himself from figuration and moved toward a more introspective and freer painting.
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition we have our own in-house framing shop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we make use of restorers from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to use this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
