Berndt Schweizer

Metal designer/artist
Peißenberg, Germany

Some of my artistic works are created by writing down all the keywords related to the theme. The constant thinking, which sometimes haunts me even in my dreams, connects all the input until the idea is born.
Some things also arise from practical work with a variety of materials. My main theme is my sculptural works made from industrial perforated metal sheets, which I shape into spheres and play with the resulting moiré effect.
Under the umbrella term “4-dimensional art,” this results in sculptures that change when moved.
The boundary between art and craft is often blurred.
Since, in my opinion, art comes from skill, creative works such as wind chimes for the garden made of titanium and stainless steel or jewelry also require a high level of craftsmanship and artistic skill. Hand-forged bronzes, some decorative, some with an artistic statement.
After discovering Bernhard Kölbl, whom I greatly admire, and other friends, it would also be an opportunity to broaden my horizons.
I am a member of “Sculpture Network” and would be delighted to have further exchanges.
