Michael Arndt

As a professor of engineering, I seek the connection between structure and creativity.

I have been working as an artist for around 20 years – self-taught, but continually trained at german academies such as Bad Reichenhall, Augsburg, Abendschule der Städelschule and with Prof. Jo Bukowski at the Alanus Werkhaus of the Alanus University in Alfter.

In my paintings and prints, especially oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings, as well as etchings, I work abstractly and expressively. Central motifs are stones and rocks, symbols of permanence and substance. They represent the transcendence of time, a connection between generations, and what endures.
My art is a dialogue between the moment and eternity. It invites the viewer to pause, discover structures—and thus experience time itself.

Michael Arndt studied engineering at universities in Germany, Wales and Scotland and finally received a PhD. Since 2017, he is professor for engineering at University of Applied Sciences Mittelhessen.

Since 1995 he is working as an artist in Giessen, Germany. He took regular lessons at the evening school of Städelschule Frankfurt/Main, Kunstakademie Bad Reichenhall, Freie Kunstakademie Augsburg and Alanus Werkhaus, Alfter. Presently, he is working regularly at Druckwerkstatt im Bernardbau at Offenbach/Main.
