Udo von Gelden

Early on, the self-taught artist Udo von Gelden, residing in Saalfeld/Saale, dedicated himself to the visual arts. As a child, he discovered his passion for painting and music, a love that has never left him.

His paintings always reflect his inner self, which is incredibly diverse. From this, he creates works with exceptional expressiveness that still allow for individual interpretation by the viewer.

He finds his inspiration in the world of music.

Inspired by numerous travels through various countries, he developed his unique painting style as a self-taught artist.

With a confident style, he reflects the spirit of the present without committing to a direct subject.

Udo von Gelden impresses in his works with aesthetic simplicity and clear lines. Central elements such as color, light, and contour are creatively formulated from a fresh perspective.

Often, figurative compositions take center stage, yet they remain committed to the abstract, even to the point of dissolving the representational.

Through the mastery of various painting techniques, both in acrylic and oil, he skillfully creates contrasting color compositions.

His paintings are showcased in a variety of exhibitions and have garnered great acclaim both domestically and internationally, as well as in numerous private collections, which continue to grow.
