Nora Painting

Nikolaus Reinecke is a contemporary figurative painter. He was born in Bremen, Germany and is currently living in Hildesheim (close to Hannover), Germany. For 16 years Reinecke has maintained his studio in Stammelbach-Speicher in Hildesheim. This is where special contemporary art arises. With a rough style, Reinecke paints larger-than-life portraits and nudes. Unlike other artists, he does not make a perfect copy of a photograph, he paints in front of the model. This captures a moment that arises during the encounter between the artist and the person portrayed. In times of high-definition cameras, that's exactly what we lack, the artist's involvement with our personality. Depending on the size of the painting, the artist and his counterparts spend between 8 and 30 hours in the studio.
