Claus Bertermann (1965) is a German abstract expressionist and representative of art brut with a preference for abstract painting.
After studying architecture at the Technical University of Munich. he worked as an architect until mid-1990s, before becoming entrepreneur. He has Spanish roots, his grandfather, Guillermo Castañeda, was a Spanish painter. Bertermann has spent her childhood in Spain with her grandparents, where he grew up surrounded by
works of his grandfather and he often has it watched painting.

There was always this peculiar smell of oil paint and of turpentine in the air of the house. THE Bertermann's work focuses mainly on transience. He is interested in the emergence and the sedimentation of the layers and
their future transformation. This is the present and of the past, and of the question of the future that inevitably follows. Influenced by his architectural training, Bertermann consciously rejects any kind of rules in his work,
sort of like a liberation from strict structures and specifications of architecture. Painting means freedom for him. And abstract expressionism is for him the highest form of expression free. His way of painting is always impulsive, exposing themselves to risk. deliberately thoughtless, intuitive. structural thinking exists for him only in the structure of the color itself and in the composition

Claus Bertermann mainly uses oil paint, color ink, acrylic paint and spray paint. His intellectual mentors and sources of inspiration are Georg Baselitz, Helen Frankenthaler, Jean Dubuffet, Gerhard Richter, Jean-Michel
Basquiat and Karel Appel. It is only at the age of 50 that Bertermann feels mentally mature enough to devote himself to painting. In as much as 'late', he is since a motivated man -i has no time to waste, that's why he maintains a very fluid style of painting, deliberately avoiding details and working generally on several works at the same time.
