New friends are joining our online art gallery. After introducing the Slavic world of Tupsa Katsiaryna Viatcheslav, we are pleased to introduce our artist from the canton of Vaud: Luca Hartmann.
A gathering in the spirit of conviviality
We met Luca Hartmann last September through Valaine de Ranson. To illustrate this article, his wife Imke provided us with a photo that exudes a special gentleness. It shows a gathering of friends on a beautiful late summer afternoon, where friendship and conversation take centre stage. For visual artists, such moments of conviviality are of great value, which the Koronin Gallery particularly appreciates.
The art of the moment: watercolour and pastel
Although Luca describes himself as an amateur artist, his technical mastery is evident. A passionate watercolourist and pastel painter, he finds his inspiration in nature. His joy is simple and authentic: he sets up his chair, folding table and sketchbook in the Swiss or Austrian countryside. There, under the open sky, he captures the essence of the landscapes.
Hartmann’s style: An invitation to take a stroll through soft, almost “cotton candy-like” colours. With Luca Hartmann, you will never be confronted with aggressive works.
Learn more about Luca Hartmann
For Luca Hartmann, art is above all a shared pleasure. He does not seek to provoke, but rather to offer a visual refuge. His works are like open windows that reveal a peaceful and inviting landscape.
His preferred techniques
The combination of watercolour and pastel allows the artist to play with transparencies and textures. This approach gives his works a powdery finish and a very special light that is so typical of the landscapes of Switzerland and Austria.
Luca Hartmann’s arrival at Galerie Koronin also highlights the strong ties between artists from the canton of Vaud, such as Valaine de Ranson and Artemis Irenäus von Baste. A true family of artists.
