About Ralf Kunstmann
Ralf Kunstmann's photorealistic painting technique stands out from other painting techniques due to its extraordinary attention to detail and amazing depth of field. In comparison to traditional painting techniques, which often leave room for interpretation or abstraction, Kunstmann aims to depict his subjects as lifelike as possible. He combines digital tools with traditional techniques to reproduce textures, light effects and shadows with incredible precision.
His ability to capture the finest details and nuances in his works sets him apart from many other artists. While in classical painting, brushstrokes and the artist's individual handwriting remain visible, Kunstmann aims to minimise these elements in his photorealistic works to achieve an almost photographic quality. This technical mastery, paired with his ability to convey emotional depth and a strong visual narrative, makes his artworks fascinating studies of reality that often cause the viewer to question the boundaries between painting and photography.
His works are exhibited nationally and internationally and are part of private collections.
A form of presentation favoured by professional photographers and exhibition organizers. Increasingly, artists are creating works for this carrier made of high-tech composite aluminium. The metallic surface creates a synthesis with the colours. White areas of the image are shimmering matt-metallic, depending on the light source, giving the image an elegant and puristic appearance. Thanks to the direct colour pigmentation the details are depicted precisely. Alu-Dibond is long-lasting and resistant.
