A course by Torsten Wolber
The fascination for expressive, defined, and atmospheric pictures has been with painter Torsten Wolber since he was a child. When he worked in the world of illustration, he created covers and images for video game companies, advertising agencies, and newspapers, particularly online ones. For a long time, he set aside his desire to make a living from painting, but because of an unprecedented event, he decided to devote himself to plein air painting, his true artistic passion. It was only a few years later that he felt ready to work exclusively in this sector.
From the time he was studying graphic design, he was inspired by classic painters such as John Singer, Sargent, Sorolla, Anders Zorn, and Richard Schmid. He currently draws inspiration from the painting process itself and likes to let himself be carried away by oil painting. His style is characterized by being free, defined, and emotional, but also by its sense of reflection and the calm it transmits. His work includes mainly landscapes, social themes, and portraits that can be found in galleries and private collections in countries such as Germany, the United States, Japan, Australia, and England.
