Reinhard Stammer: The Alchemist of Colours and Life Born in 1952 in the coastal town of Glücksburg, Reinhard Stammer's life reads like an abstract painting - full of unpredictable strokes, intense colours and textured layers. What began as a childish passion for art led to his first exhibition at the age of 17, but life soon pulled him into turbulent waters. As a young man caught up in the maelstrom of the 1960s counterculture, Stammer's rebellion against social norms took the form of addiction and imprisonment. But it was in these early struggles that the seeds of his distinctive style were planted. Stammer's art was always a reflection of his deeply philosophical attitude to life. Influenced by Buddhism and Advaita philosophy, his works go beyond mere visual representation and become a canvas on which he explores the complexities of existence. Circles, bold strokes and a symphony of colors play out on his canvases, inviting the viewer not only to look, but to feel the cyclical and emotional journey that lies within them. His works are tactile and multi-layered - a metaphor for the complicated structures of life. The twists and turns in his personal life, from running a successful publishing house to near-death experiences, have only deepened his artistic voice. His move to Mallorca became a turning point, marking his re-emergence in the international art scene with exhibitions across Europe, India and beyond. Stammer's art is celebrated today not only for its bold aesthetic, but also for its ability to evoke deep emotional responses. In each work, Stammer transforms the challenges of his life into a haunting dialogue between color and emotion that makes his work not only a visual but also an introspective experience.
