Artist Statement:
I relish colors, music and
life. As the Gilgamesh-epic
states "Don't add to the
lament" so is my art defined.
My field of activity as a
painter is to recreate
feelings on canvas while
leaving the business of exact
definition of the world to
scientific study. I see life
as colorful and not gray. I
follow my internal rules of
proportion and color, leaving
minimalization and elimination
concepts behind. Thus the
inner music can come forth
with no restriction.
I started with realistic
paintings, then began to
develop abstract scrawlings
coming to mind automatically.
All begins with one decisive
line whether I am using pens,
watercolor, oils or acrylic
paints. The quiet stillness
quickly moves to a
harmoniously proportioned
canvas leaving each side true
to the other.
My challenge is to reflect
what surrounds my soul and eye
clearly and concisely for all.
If the viewer feels the
emotion I have set forth, the
work is a success. ...

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Wolfgang Konrad Schweizer fostered his interest in sculpting and painting from an early age. Using the elements of proportion and balance, Wolfgang further advanced upon his oil painting techniques during his chemistry study at the University of Freiburg in Germany.
Over the years he began painting in acrylics and watercolors with pens, and developed his own abstract style. His technique became a cumulative effect of constant research, visiting numerous art galleries in Europe and the USA and studying the work of the old masters closely.
In November 2007, Wolfgang moved to the United States. He is a member of Organization for Independent Artists of New York, and the Ridgefield Guild of Artists.
