Alexander Befelein Art
German, b. 1952
Alexander Befelein is an esteemed German artist renowned for his captivating watercolor paintings and intricate etchings. Born in 1952 in Bremen, Germany, Befelein spent his formative years in the vibrant city of Nuremberg. In 1971, he embarked on a journey to Munich, where he pursued his passion for fine art and has called it home ever since. After graduating from the esteemed University of Munich in 1981, he embarked on a multifaceted career as both a dedicated artist and an influential teacher.
Befelein's art draws profound inspiration from his extensive travels. In 1977, he embarked on a transformative artistic pilgrimage to Italy, England, and Yugoslavia, further enriching his artistic repertoire. Exploring the enchanting cities of Vienna, Venice, and the picturesque landscapes of the south of Tyrol in the early 1980s, he meticulously captured the essence of these locales in his sketchbooks. His impressionistic renditions vividly portray the beauty of each landscape, expertly capturing intricate details and evoking a profound sense of mood and atmosphere through his delicate brushstrokes.
Central to Befelein's artistic expression is the masterful interplay of contrasting elements. His works embody a harmonious juxtaposition of hard and soft lines, and warm and cool colors, resulting in a captivating visual dialogue. Notably, he employs an intriguing technique where he intersperses splotches, symbols, constructions, letters, and numbers, imparting a distinct and unmistakable character to his creations. While adept in the use of watercolor, Befelein often chooses to leave substantial portions of his pieces as drawings. This intentional approach heightens the brilliance of his colored sections while creating a captivating interplay between contrasting elements.
With his unique artistic style, Alexander Befelein has earned widespread recognition and acclaim. His captivating works have been exhibited in esteemed galleries across Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, Japan, the United States, and numerous other countries worldwide. Embodying a profound passion for his craft, Befelein's artistic journey continues to captivate audiences and leave an indelible mark on the contemporary art scene.to
