Jürgen Schmitz was born in Möchengladbach
and is a self-taught artist. He was inspired by his time spent in the
Mediterranean with the distinctive light of the south frequently being
reflected in his work. The colour blue is often represented in his
paintings, a colour that for Schmitz encapsulates the unique ambience of
the Mediterranean with its association with the sky, the ocean and a
general sense of freedom.
Schmitz is extraordinarily dedicated to
his work. He proofs every silkscreen and once satisfied that it conforms
to his high standards he signs every single one. |
