Roland Stieger, age 49, lives and works in the idyllic countryside of the Kanton of Thurgau (Switzerland). In his studio he creates paintings of deep and inner harmony. While processing his abstract oil & acrylic paintings, he embarks on a journey into his inner-self. He uses a variety of mix media. Whatever moves him, he implements it into his artistic work. Colorful and rich paintings unfold out of it. Even just the color compositions can be the start into an imaginary “travel”.
Stieger’s wish is it to take the viewer with him into this lovely journey. The growing recognition of his art work is increasingly reflecting on the national and international market.
