He invites his audience “walk right into my
paintings. His realistic work of Florida scenes, beacons the viewer
to feel what he feels, the sand beneath their feet and the wind in
their hair. The love of nature and its’ lasting impressions are
related through his work. "I enjoy the satisfaction I feel when I
watch the reactions on the people’s faces when they view my work,
because it lets me know if I am on the right track."
Born in Germany, Klaus has always loved to
sketch and draw. Since retiring, he has the needed time to really
buckle down to painting. Schools in Germany and the United States
have added to his skills and confidence. He is an active member of
many art associations including, Tampa Realistic Artists, North
Tampa Arts League and the Carrollwood Cultural Center, Inc. of
Tampa. Klaus enjoys the quality of work of the artists he
associates with. "They are special people, who make me feel at home
when I'm among them."
Working in oils, Klaus enjoys land and
seascapes. His plein air work is among his favorites, because of the
challenge to capture the moment on canvas as he paints outside in
the elements. The only problem, he is so passionate, once he begins
a painting it is difficult for him to stop. New work will be coming
to his website all the time. He is planning a series of paintings of
the beautiful scenery inspired by his recent trip to Germany and
Austria.
Right
now he is painting a 9’ x 40’ Mural inside Abby’s Café Eden in North
Tampa. 14374 N. Dale Mabry Blvd. Come on by and see Eden as Klaus
painted it for you.
Klaus and his wife Gerda have 3 children and 5
grandchildren. One of his sons is also artistically talented.
When he isn't painting, our artist stays busy with his other passion
of tennis and working out at the YMCA. Klaus’s work is in the
Art Warehouse in Clearwater Florida, as well as in the Art Source &
Design gallery in North Carolina.
Call Klaus to create a painting or a
mural from pictures you took on a memorable vacation that you will
cherish for years.
