Walter J. Roos born in the year 58 in Nuernberg (Germany/Bavarian).
The abbreviation "J." stands for my middle name, to distinguish me from my namesake.
"Born as a draftsman/drawer" (Degas) is the motto of my life - I drew portraits from my earliest years and I am still fascinated by the diversity of the human face (of the naked female body as well).
I love the old masters, especially Renaissance painter and my favourite models are women.
I'm fascinated in: time,moments and curves and faces. It's my passion.
The technical side of painting is the "very old school" style. E.g. Silver pen and resinoil. My "drawing-soul" loves to reduce to the essential.
"Non finito" or Yohaku no bi (jap.).
Til end of study (1991), I've worked / lived as an Artist in Cologne.From 1998 to 2021 (July 15, 2021 the "Ahr flood destroys my studio and about 700 works) I worked in my studio "artfusion" in Euskirchen (nearby Cologne). Currently I only work in Hellenthal (a small village in the forest of the Eifel).
