Michael Quarz

Diving deep into drawing and painting with body and soul. This became a part of my life very early on - and has remained so.

My work was and is characterized by the exploration and development of my artistic opportunities. I painted large walls and tiny miniatures, on canvases, wood and objects of many kinds. I love it when my works and painted objects become a part of other people's lives and daily existence.

With my works I build a bridge between traditional and digital art and play with the many possibilities and combinations of both worlds. Because of these possibilities alone, I remain open to all techniques and all styles. From drawing and painting to photography, artificial intelligence and digital montage. In terms of expression, I like drawings and graphics just as much as expressionist and abstract works or photography and realism, but increasingly less so. This means I don't fit into the classic art market. But I am happy to pay this price.

"MiQ" showed his passion for visual arts at a very early age. He received his first artistic education at school and outside as a teenager. He was especially inspired by his art teacher Bruno Stane-Grill. He then continued his development as an autodidact.

27 solo and group exhibitions between 1986 and 1995, none thereafter.
