About this artwork
A small oil study of palm trees on a piece of wood found in the forest. This material study refers to wood as the traditional image carrier of oil painting. However, this piece of wood is not a conventional image carrier, but rather an objet trouvé. Unprimed it was not perfectly suitable for painting and the artist worked against the material more than with it. This type of work occurs again and again in order to play with the limits of the materials…
and the painterly possibilities.

« Every person I paint holds up a mirror to myself. I paint to learn about myself and to give the viewer the opportunity to look at themselves. »
Moritz Albert is an award-winning painter and draftsman based in Germany whose works have been exhibited nationally and in Belgium. His works center around themes relating to memory, identity and its formation, as well as personal introspection. Often employing models and photographs, Albert's narrative-based figurative compositions are primarily created with oils, acrylics, and lithography techniques on canvas or wood.
