Hans L. Wendland I was born in Paris, which makes me French. I grew up in a family of painters, sculptors and art merchants. In France and Italy, I studied under the artists Gérard Ambroselli, Jean-Baptiste Ambroselli, and Antonietta Tuti where I received strong influences in impressionism and abstractionism. I was educated in Italy, France, England and finally in the United States where I lived for over twenty years. I have shown my work in the United States, South America and in Europe. For the past fifteen years I have lived parallel lives, one focused on high-tech and the other focused on art, and until very recently never mixing the two. In this world of right-brain and left-brain I have found the stimulus for creating my paintings. My work borders representational and non-objective art. All of my work is based on abstract shapes and emotions I see and feel. Nature is my biggest driver. As an expressionist, my objective is to take elements from nature, abstract them, and treat them by means of emotive color, texture and shapes, driving the viewer to react to my work personally. The paintings in this book represent a marked turning point in my career as a painter, both in style and emotion. Over the years I have developed a technique where I paint with both oil and water-based colors on the same canvas, focusing on the ability to mix and work with the colors simultaneously, completely in the wet. I create emotion with a lot of depth and many layers of material on top of each other, adding pencil, crayon, oil pastels as well as dirt, leaves and "stuff" that allow me to create truly unique pieces of art. I now live and work in the mountains outside of Lugano, Switzerland. Both my technology and art work can be seen at www.hanswendland.com.
