Uwe Wittwer

Uwe Wittwer is a Swiss artist known for his photorealistic paintings and digital prints that explore the boundaries between painting and photography. Wittwer’s works are based on photographs, which he manipulates and transforms using digital techniques, before creating a painting or print from the resulting image.

Wittwer’s subjects range from still lifes, landscapes, and portraits to interiors and urban scenes. He often takes images from historical sources such as old photographs or illustrations, and digitally alters them to create new compositions that question the way we perceive and remember the past. His works often have a dreamlike, ethereal quality that blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination.

Wittwer’s technique involves printing his digital images onto canvas or paper, which he then works over with oil or acrylic paint to create a layered, textured surface. He often adds brushstrokes and drips of paint to his prints, giving them a tactile quality that blurs the line between photography and painting.
