Markus Kiniger

I invite you to spend an artistic-philosophical day with me.
I would like to introduce you to my artistic world and explain why and how the need to express myself artistically arose within me. I enjoy talking with people and about what moves them. A walk along the promenade, but also under the arcades, in the industrial zone, or in the shopping center can lead to very interesting insights if you observe what’s happening around you with the right perspective.

I am a communicative person and would be happy if we could spontaneously talk together about art and the world, humanity, and ourselves.

We can also spend our time together over lunch or dinner and, for example, have a technical discussion about contemporary painting. Together we could imagine and speculate where art—which often serves as a mirror for humanity—is currently headed, and how the latest scientific discoveries might influence art.

I would also like to show you how I work with the element of color. There are specific reasons why I have chosen to create my art in a certain way. We have my studio at our disposal, located in the Bolzano industrial zone near the Noi-Techpark. This is my workplace, where I find peace, concentration, and freedom for my creativity.

Would you like, after we get to know each other a bit, to paint one or more pictures with me? That way I could introduce you more deeply into my artistic world and accompany you. You have nothing to fear—nothing can go wrong. Painting is play, and I’m sure you still know how to do it! Wouldn’t that be a wonderful experience?

Afterwards, we could connect art with the keyword time. For example: how does the phenomenon of time express itself in art, and why do so many artists deal with it? How important is time in my art; how did you experience it while painting—and how do I experience it during my creative process?

Or would you prefer to talk about art and spirituality? What do you think about spirituality, and what significance does it have today in the art scene, considering that for a long time art was only shown in religious contexts? We could look at works by Marc Quinn, Jonas Burgert, and Thomas Schütte.

I’m already looking forward to our meeting, see you soon.
