Chris Bitzer works as a sculptor and painter, originally trained in church restoration, but he has explored a wide range of artistic disciplines. He favors photorealistic oil painting, mostly in black and white, inspired by the aesthetics of old photographs and imbued with a deep respect for craftsmanship. His works range stylistically from classical to experimental, as he constantly explores new techniques. In his paintings, he conveys a quiet yet compelling emotional depth, full of curiosity and a yearning for freedom, far removed from preconceived notions – beauty takes center stage.
