About Leo Windeln
Leo Windeln, born in Heinsberg in the Rhineland in 1962, has been able to establish himself as a painter twice if you will. First, as a young man who began painting at the age of only 16 and received public recognition for his first exhibition already in 1980. Nevertheless, the 1980s were mainly an educational time for him. In addition to his self-taught attempts, he perfected his skills in the art of still life and landscape painting at the Free Academy of Roermond in Limburg, the Netherlands, among other places.
He paints exclusively with high-quality oil colours on linen stretcher frames. The technique is a mixture of wet-on-wet and layered painting. Like the 'Impressionists', Windeln always paints without using the black colour. The motifs primarily originate from the local area and trips abroad. As much as the love for detail is part of his paintings (for example through the elaboration of a stinging nettle or the changing colour of a leaf on a shrub), capturing the mood of the light is as essential. The eternal striving for perfection, just like his artistic role models, becomes comprehensible and contributes to the charm of his painting.
When Windeln returned to painting after a break in 2003, he was immediately noticed again - and very soon beyond his hometown and internationally.
Since 2015, Windeln has been a member of the Bund Internationaler Künstler. His works can be admired in major international exhibitions such as Art Beijing China, Art Fair Luxembourg, and the Hong Art Museum China. His impressively naturalistic, detailed landscapes are even collected in Hong Kong and Japan.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
