Premio Combat Prize

Jörg Guyer was born in Schwenningen in The Black Forest in 1965.
Gifted both artistically and technically, he started working as a Technical Draughtsman at the family’s Consulting Engineering company. However, at the age of 35, he made the switch to a career centred entirely around art.
His works are diversified and colourful and fire the imagination of those who view them.
Jörg Guyer has a certain concept in mind as he embarks on each picture but he adapts this with each stroke of the brush. His pictures are a kaleidoscope of shapes and figures, which become more identifiable each time you look at them. Rather than just revealing all their facets at a single glance, the pictures unfold gradually, unlocking new details continuously.
Guyer himself says that he always sees ”nature” in his pictures. But nature isn’t just earth, water, air and fire. It is also that which it produces, namely landscapes, people, animals, strengths and weaknesses. As Guyer says, ”The strengths and weaknesses as we see and experience them every day create a harmony together.”
Jörg Guyer has held successful exhibitions in Germany, Europe, Asia and the USA.
