About The Artwork

There are times and moments in life when something old goes and something new comes. We often hold on to what we already have, which sometimes harms us. Relationships, people, things, the workplace, old beliefs and behaviors, habits and much more. Letting go hurts and we often cling with all our might to the supposedly safe old and familiar, which leaves us no room for development. This also applies to the autocrats and dictators of this world, who fearfully and desperately cling to their power and prevent a new beginning in their states. But everyone has to let go at some point. Whether they want to or not. The large-format painting "The leader" shows precisely this moment: the pale ruler figure is only holding on to the throne with the help of makeshift supports and does not want to let go. Everything is crumbling, tottering, overgrown and sinking into chaos. At the same time, the messengers of the new world are already here, heralding the change: Beautiful birds of paradise, cats, butterflies. This process begins on the inside and is reflected on the outside, in our actions. Inspired by the study of Pope Innocent X by Francis Bacon after Diego Velázquez, a key moment of a supernatural world is shown that goes beyond the usual rational, psychological explanations. In the painting, many levels and a multi-layered painting style tell the story of this moment. One feels transported into another, spiritual, even divine world - full of unease, fear and transience, but at the same time also full of hope and beauty in anticipation of the new.

www.baldurgaloor.com The Art of the Unknown: Baldur Galoor's Inspiring Journey Born in 1989 in Bad Dürkheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, Baldur Galoor's artistic journey began early, influenced by the Jugendstil architecture of his parental home and his parents' artistic pursuits. His father's collection of surrealism-focused art books deeply influenced him, shaping his dreams and perceptions of the supernatural. Despite nurturing his love for art during his education as a communication designer in Munich, Baldur temporarily lost his artistic drive after graduation. However, amidst personal adversities in 2020, including burnout, depression, and family struggles, Baldur rediscovered his passion for art, driven by a vision of luminous hope. Embracing a newfound passion for painting, Baldur developed a visionary philosophy, "Nova Creatura," and his unique technique "Fusion Realism" reflecting his deep connection to the supernatural and the unconscious. This technique allows him to fuse various painting styles, from classicism to graphic design, creating surreal compositions that transcend traditional boundaries. Baldur's art aims to make existential themes accessible globally, evoking strong emotional responses independent of art interest. His works, alongside those of his idols such as Arik Brauer and Max Slevogt, hang as testaments to his artistic evolution. As an autodidact, Baldur continues to evolve, creating iconic motifs with the potential for cult status. His art visualizes existential themes in artistically visionary ways, striving to shape a positive future and showcase hope as an eternal element of our lives. Through his exhibitions, successful vernissages, and international recognition, Baldur's art ignites a powerful emotional resonance, inviting viewers worldwide to rediscover and celebrate the vibrant element of hope.
