Robert Niesse, Modedesigner,

Robert Niesse

The works of the Cologne-based artist and fashion designer Robert Niesse show his fine instinct and his pronounced passion for color and color composition, which intuitively arise through rich application of paint from a momentary impulse.

By means of a technique of adding and removing and both fine and strong color gradient layers, Niesse creates a deep complexity in his paintings. The power of the colorfulness of his paintings changes analytical vision and often lets his painting speak in riddles.

It is not the mind that should analyze the image, but one’s intuition and feeling that need to capture the message of his pictures.
