Contemplative-Oil Painting. 30x40cm. Gerry Miller (2020) Pittura da Gerry Miller

I am a Scottish figurative artist living in Germany. I work in a variety of media and specialize on the human figure and landscapes. My paintings and drawings primarily show the female figure in a variety of experimental tones and colours.
I spent the most of my artistic career doing portraits using life models or photographic sources.
I also explore classic subjects such as landscapes and still lives as an examination of spiritual elements and how we add to or contribute to the physical universe. For me, the realist approach is the greatest way to do this.
I suppose I am influenced by a desire to capture the Infinity of ephemeral moments within an infinite number of moments. Painting and drawing are a never-ending source of inspiration for me, and I believe in constant experimentation within a framework of artistic fundamentals. I wish to elevate life above the laws of physics by creating interactive beauty.

Influences include Hopper, Warhol, Dali, Picasso, Erich Fichtl, and Monet to mention a few.

My artistic career began in mid-eighties London where I worked as a professional portrait artist, whilst taking life-drawing classes at St. Martins School of Art 

Despite tempting offers to work as a fashion designer on London’s King’s Road, or exhibit in a New York gallery, I kept to my path. I simply loved drawing and painting people, and I wasn’t ready for New York. 

Fate had me destined for Europe, namely Bavaria, where I had my first solo exhibitions and developed my career as an artist for real. 

Later I moved to the east of Berlin.
