Franz Huempfner

"One eye of the photographer gazes wide open into the viewfinder, the other closed into his own soul." (Henri Cartier-Bresson)

Franz Hümpfner works as a painter and photographer using analog and digital media, drawing on his many years of experience as an artist and art educator in Germany. His techniques range from classical painting to Zen and wabisabi photography, constantly seeking new forms of expression and drawing inspiration from other artists. In his works, he conveys the beauty and transience of existence and invites the viewer to delve beyond the visible world into deeper realms of consciousness. "Art is a vast collaborative effort. No artist lives independently, but is the product of their time and the traditions of their cultural circle." (Franz Hümpfner)
