Stefan Schift

I was born in 1967 and live in Freiburg, Germany. Since 2007 I have dedicated myself to painting. My fascination with artistic action stems from the desire to utilize the push of positive energy, to paint pictures in a very personal style, producing expressive and dynamic atmospheres. The figurative paintings are characterised by a naive lightness, the pictures are worked out on pencil sketches or photographs. In contrast the abstract paintings arise without conceptual submission. Inspired by nature and the elements, they are the result of my intuition.

I am a self-taught painter. Showing an artistic sensibility since childhood (photography / music), I begun in 1987 to study cartography. In 2000 I started experimenting with brushes and acrylic colors, and discovered the liberating force of my creativity.

Since 2009 I have done over 40 solo exhibitions in Galleries, Restaurants, Cafés, Hotels, Town Halls and Hospitals in Germany and France. Infos on my website "https://stefanschift.hpage.com".
