Apple (2021) Painting by Biggivinci

Gerald Groß is a contemporary German painter whose philosophy is that art should be alive, resonating both with the artist and the viewer. While he doesn't claim that his art will please everyone, he hopes that it evokes emotions and triggers something meaningful in those who view it. For Gerald, painting is an intense adventure with an unknown destination.

Gross's work has been featured in numerous national and international solo and group exhibitions. He is known for his narrative-based abstract neo-expressionist pieces, often exploring distinctive and surrealistic themes. His preferred medium is acrylic on canvas or paper.

Gerald's journey into painting began with creating artworks for his own home. The satisfaction he derived from his first painting spurred him to create more. Bringing the ideas from his mind to life on canvas became his driving motivation. For him, the most crucial aspect of painting is achieving a coherent end result that brings him inner peace. Gerald envisions his paintings roughly in his head before transferring them to the canvas, allowing for changes during the process. This iterative creativity is vital to his work.

The complete picture already exists in his mind, and the act of transforming it into a physical work is an essential part of his artistic process. While painting, he often has the television or music playing in the background, which helps him to switch off and immerse himself entirely in his work, even if he doesn't actively notice the background noise.

Art is omnipresent in Gerald's life, and he also collects paintings by other artists, fascinated by the unique signature each one brings to their work. Starting a painting is an addictive process for him, and he is relentless in his pursuit of the final result. The end product of his work is his ultimate goal, and he leaves no stone unturned to achieve it.
