Hi and hello,
My name is Chris Bleicher.
About me in brief: My art is my passion and is inspired by my many exotic travels. Through my artwork I want to express "joy of living", stimulate the fantasy and promote a positive attitude with colors and shapes. I believe in experiamentalism, exposing in my art the exotic, erotic, ecological and humorous. I don't have a leisure time in the conventional sense, as my profession is my free time. I find time to keep my body fit, because an esthetic body has a special fascination for me as an artist. I like to visit ballet performances to study the beautifully shaped and defined bodies in motion. Female and male eroticism, too, plays a role in my art. The stimulant for the erotic comes from of life. Of particular interest are fringe groups. Any incident inspires my art. Since more than 18 years I have shown commitment for preserving nature in combination with technology. I love people and animals. Today an intact nature is more important than ever before for the next generations.
Yours, | |
