Rene Klotzer

Self-taught German Artist, Filmmaker and Photographer.

Born and raised in Germany, I currently live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
I discovered my creative side from a very young age while growing up in Southern Germany.
This creative side was however, put on hold while I chased my dreams and built a career that brought me across the globe in search for the perfect job.
Finally, I had it all - money, success and happiness.
Or so I thought.

I was depressed, felt burnt out and alone. Something in my life was missing and made me feel empty.
In 2016, I decided to explore my creativity again and embarked on a series of photography and videography activities and it slowly brought me back to life.
But something was still missing. And I finally figured it out.

ART!

After my last assignment in Bangkok, I realized that from now on, I need to invest in my passion, which is photography, videography and my newly found love for oil-paint.
The smell, the texture and the endless opportunity oil-paint offers is so amazing and fascinating and became my favourite medium to express myself.

So, I came to Malaysia to do what I love - ART and being creative, whether it's painting, drawing, sculpturing, photo art, videos etc. ...

Rene studied hospitality management in Germany and shortly after started to explore the world with stops in Switzerland, Thailand and Malaysia. While he worked in the hospitality industry and consulting sector his passion for painting, photography and film took over and he turned his hobby into his profession. Rene is a self-taught artist who just loves to create art, whether it is film, photography or his oil-paintings (which he mostly paints with chopsticks).
