Self-Portrait Painting

My name is Manfred Panzer and I am a German painter. My love for painting developed in my youth. Since there was no possibility for me to study art, I completed an apprenticeship as a gilder at the Kunsthaus Reephun in Constance on Lake Constance. The development of my painting ran over portraits and landscapes to abstraction. My oil and acrylic paintings tie in the tradition of the abstract expressive painting. Some of my paintings seem to come to life through the dramatically, wild, almost unbridled brushstroke. Other works have a special effect: here radiate symbols and colors an almost meditative calm. My thoughts - what am I, my life, my death - are triggering moments of my painting from the impression to expression. The motto of my art: “Lived dreams are precious, you cannot replace them.”
