About The Artist

I was born on 23 august 1967 just before midnight in Zurich. Exactly in this moment the sign of the zodiac changed from lion to virgo. So i can roar like a lion and I am orderly and good organised like a virgo. Art was ever in my life. In school I made a scenery for a party. And in my leisure time I was drawing and painting. I made the diploma in the commercial college and then I was in commerce. 1999 I began to specialize in marketing and publicity. I draw and painted in my rare leisure time. In 2004 I had my first exhibition in a dentist's practice in Zurich. A lot of peoble confirmed my talent so I began to increase the art. Some more exhibition were following in restaurants, offices, and in an administration building. Then I had an exhibition with many other artist in a gallery near berne. In september 2008 I set up my own company named "Kunst-Grafik Lüthi" as a second job. The first orders for graphic art were following. So I could gain from the course "graphic art in publicity and design" at the New Art School in Zurich I absolved from 2001 till 2004. In 2005 I made the diploma as economist BI at the business management school in Basel. My favourite technique is to paint with oil colour. The painting will be built by different coats. First I paint the background and I create the construction of the painting and then I work on the details. This gives the painting a three-dimensional touch. In 2006 I began to paint on velvet. This is a very difficult and intensiv technique and it takes a lot of time to work the oil colour into the velvet. I have to work really exact because the velvet is "living" with its hairs. Sometimes I d'ont paint the background so you will see the character of the velvet. It should not be only a painting but a special painting on velvet. I use also different colours ov velvet and the result is really special. I draw with pencil, coloured pencil, water colour and charcoal. Sometimes I use a combination of it and I can get the strokes stronger. Education 2021 Online-Studies at the Old Masters Academy and the
