(see times)
German artist Peter Dittmar, who lives and works now in BALI and SYDNEY came in contact with Hindu-Buddhist beliefs in the 1970’s which are a huge influence on his paintings. A commentary on his current exhibition in San Francisco:
“His paintings could be read as contemporary MANDALAS, in which the specific arrangement of colors and forms aim directly at the unconscious. Dittmar calls his works in square format simply “COLOR WINDOWS”: Windows that mark an open section providing a view of an exterior, or conversely a glance into something interior.” (Dr. Elisabeth Wagner)
Peter Dittmar was born and raised in Munich and received his diploma of the Academy of fine Arts in Munich in 1976. After several years of teaching arts in Munich he moved to Bali in 1982, where he set up his own studio. Meanwhile he also owns a studio in Sydney and is commuting between Australia, Bali and Munich. His paintings are regularly exhibited in galleries around the world.
