Bernd Wachtmeister

Bernd Wachtmeister, New Media Artist

New media artist and designer Bernd Wachtmeister is one of those people who devote a great deal of time to analysing themselves in the context of their surroundings. Many of his feelings, impressions and thoughts find expression in his artistic work. They come to light, so to speak, through form and colour.
