Please find below our press release, to include in your media:
A native German, he studied art at the Beaux-Arts in Edinburgh, Scotland and moved to Spain where he founded his family. He is keen on cinema, literature, contemporary dance, opera, and has a real knowledge of what is being created in these fields, in Europe, in the United States, and even in Japan.
His subject is the man, his body, his gestures, as a reflection of his deep emotions. His painting is silent, and as María Palau says in a recent article "Silence is a language and we must know its rules. The work of Gabriel Schmitz pushes us to listen to it. Everything resides in painting, as a kind of protective skin of a living organism with its own logic and internal functioning. Form and content struggle from within work to flourish outside. "

Born in Dortmund (Germany), in 1970
In his workshop, characters take heart and soul who are at the same time exotic in their physique, but close and contemporary by the expressiveness of the feelings that give them flesh. His silent faces subtly tell us of a search for the truth of human existence. Since 1991 Gabriel SCHMITZ exhibits regularly in Europe.
