Reinhard Riedel, freelance artist from Glonn/ Germany, born on 11.08.1955
in Ebersberg
Studied computer science and mathematics at the TU Munich
Lifelong preoccupation with art as a purely self-taught artist.
After completing his studies, he spent over 30 years in management
positions in IT and has been retired for 3 years. Since or although he comes
from a family of craftsmen, the artist has always been very interested in the
various types of practical crafts. The path to figurative and realistic motifs
as a painter and sculptor was then probably inevitable for him. Interestingly,
he was never interested in abstract approaches. In contrast, he was always
fascinated by motifs from fashion photography and the techniques or alienations
of photographic art. The artist who influenced him and still inspires him is
Gottfried Helnwein.
For around 20 years, Reinhard Riedel has been trying to refine his own
hobby skills as a carpenter, blacksmith and bricklayer and then use these
experiences to find an individual expression as an artist. And, of course, he
is also inspired by his lifelong knowledge as a computer scientist and
mathematician with the exploding possibilities of the digital world. He
believes that his figurative, realistic style of painting can compete less and
less with the exploding possibilities of AI.
