Return


Andreas Streun

Art and science share my life: physics became the profession, painting is the mission. Hence I am an amateur as painter and mainly taught myself (apart from one year of fine arts at university when I was in doubt about physics). I started oil painting at the age of 17, took a detour to airbrush and water colour, and returned to oil in combination with acrylic and tempera.

My impulse to paint is to materialize visions ranging from dreams of a brighter, better world to nightmares of insanity. Depicting the latter had an invaluable therapeutical effect during some times in the past. Working out the bright side means to follow a feeling of homesickness.

Born 1960 I am now at an age to reduce a bit on the job and give more room to art. I'd like to get into contact with artists, and I want my pictures to be seen – therefore I am here.
