About Me

Wolfgang Gersch

I received a fine arts master's degree from the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts in 1978.

I was a young, active artist in Berlin between 1970 and 1980 before moving to San Francisco. There I met my future wife and artist partner Kara Young. We build a wonderful artistic live together. Here we lived and worked for 20 years.

In 2000, we moved our creative adventures to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where we currently have our home and studios. My ideas and designs and my sophisticated use of color is enjoyed by a large sector of the public. The technical and creative excellence in my art is appreciated by my many collectors.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.

Inspiration

In my artworks and concepts I explore the hidden inner dimensions of the world we live in. Concerned with the life forces and energies that move and create everything we can see, I paint my inner visions, which come to me in meditations or while communing with Nature or our Planet Earth and us Humans.

Techniques

I have evolved a unique art style that I execute on canvas or wood panels, creating a mixed media technique with textural materials, acrylic gels, acrylic paints, metallic pigments, and glazes. These textures create a unique visual quality and enhance the luminescence of the acrylic paints and glazes. The metallic pigments give the illusion of solid metal surfaces. The colors and textures shift and change when seen from different angles.
