Henning Schuldt

painter, songwriter and athlete based in Leipzig, Germany

  • As an artist, I find my purpose in embodying a visceral, almost instinctive response to the world that envelops me. Assuming the role of an observer, I delve into the intricacies of the human experience through my paintings.

    For me painting and making music is about feeling out loud.

    My engagement as a boxing athlete provides me with firsthand encounters with facets of humanity often deemed undesirable in the comlex machinery of contemporary western existence. Amidst this, my artworks unveil ancient relics from eras predating industrialization: masks, disguises, and archaic artistic representations like the Venus of Willendorf encircle the subjects of my paintings, who become conduits for the profound human quest for self-discovery. My artistic pursuit is anchored in the aspiration to capture and interpret life in its entirety within my creations. The world, with its diverse landscapes and narratives, never ceases to astonish me. Through my art, I endeavor to reciprocate this wonder, offering the world a reflection that invites awe and contemplation in return.
