Artworks by Artist: Schmidt, Ralf

Ralf Schmidt (* 01.06.1960 in Dusseldorf) lives and works as an independent artist in Dusseldorf, where he also studied Visual Communication at the University of Applied Sciences from 1982 - 1986. Here he learns Free Drawing with Professor Rudi Assmann and completed his diploma in Typography, Illustration and Graphic Design with Professor Heinz Edelmann.

In 1998 he started the series 'free paintings', focusing on realistic-translated, isolated objects and placed on canvas in acrylic. As of 2010, the series will be expanded to include 'free paintings II', which will focus on aspects of human nature.

These realistic-stylized works emerge in a long creative phase in which image ideas are created both consciously and intuitively and put on paper. The contents revolve around feelings and actions of the people, to whom as the viewer the image statements are left.

"I think it's important for an artist to record as many things as possible, from private, social, cultural or political areas, and I like it when the brain draws conclusions that then turn into a visual image."
