Volker Mayr

„What composers do with music, poets with words, I wish with my paintings: inspire people and create emotions. I want to trigger impulses that make the soul of the viewer vibrate.“ Volker lives and works in Berlin. He was taught by his grandfather, the german painter Otto Glossmann. In the beginning of his art career he started with realistic painting. Since 1985, non-figurative works predominate with references to abstract expressionism. Getting older, he re-discovered the fascination of figurative painting and from time to time he loves to add works in the impressionistic style to his abstract art. Volkers pictures arise from all the senses and emotions: they are sensual, un-premeditated and with a playful love for enigmatic details.
