Albert Kiefer
Brazil
Self-taught digital artist Albert Kiefer has made the decision to return
to drawing as well. He creates artistic impressions and visualisations
for business and governmental clients during the day. From items
to historical reconstructions of structures and complexes, these
representations cover a wide variety.
He has experience as a skilled digital artist and has also studied conventional
painting and sketching. He became a perfectionist over time as a result of his
computer work, and for many years he completely abandoned traditional work
methods. He put off making that choice for a very long time
since his perfectionism prevented him from using his
traditional drawing skills once more.
At the start of his drawing journey, that was utterly
unclear. When he had to choose a subject to sketch,
that quickly became an issue because he wanted to
create a new sketch every day! Being a computer artist,
he spends a lot of the day sitting down.
He calls his aesthetic and writing
approach “visual writing.” When he is
laying down the linework, he simply
moves his fineliners in a nearly
continuous flow. He doesn’t want
to go too literal because that
would slow him down and
make things sluggish.
