Tim Eitel

 The artist Tim Eitel was born 1971 in Leonberg, Germany. He has a significant international career behind him. He graduated in 2001 from the famous Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig which – as the legendary Düsseldorf school earlier – fostered a whole generation of painters, known today as the Leipziger school. Tim Eitel has established himself as one of the more gifted painters, creating images which, being based in figuration, may seduce the observer with their immediate accessibility, but are characterized by an atmosphere, an absence, that adds new dimensions to contemporary painting.

Tim is probably my favourite artist so far. I am not a painter but I really like accurate, tradicional and realistic style oil paintings. His paintings look like photographic pictures of reality and very calm and mysterious.
