Detailed description
Picture "Del Marcos hotel" (2010)
The picture shows the front view of the Del Marcos Hotel in Palm Springs, California, an icon of midcentury modern architecture of the 1950s. It is part of my series about Palm Springs and life in the desert there. The surrounding landscape flows in through the reflection in the glazed door and window and refers to the fragility and transience of a place in the middle of a desert. The strong colors result from the typical clear light of the desert.
About Heinz Stoewer
In my early 40s, I ended my career as a lawyer and banker in favor of painting, which has been the center of my life ever since.
I live in Bad Tölz and Palm Springs, California.
My painting varies between real images and abstraction, where the interplay of form and color, that is, the painting itself is as much at the center of my work as the message.
Water reflections, nature-inspired themes and images of people, especially male bodies or sections of them, are focal points in my work series.
The influence of the flood of images on the Internet on us and our self-perception is questioned and the equality of alternative lifestyles is important to me.
I am inspired by various media, my own experience and everything that happens around me.
