“People can immerse themselves in my pictorial landscapes, meet themselves, and continue their path with a cheerful smile.”
Klaus Stieghorst studied architecture and urban planning at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg. Now he is working professionally as a city planner and architect. Since the beginning of the 1920s, he started intensive examination of watercolor painting.

The goal of KS is to paint timeless landscapes. Clouds, water, and light address the constant change and lack of substance of time with their fleetingness. The artist is not concerned with an immediate representation of individual landscapes but with their light-flooded, existential dimension.
The pictures should create a meditative space and give the viewer the opportunity to stay in it.
Klaus completed his master’s degree from the Hamburg Art School. He started participating in various exhibitions and publications from 2021. He lives and works as a freelance artist in Schleswig – Holstein, Northern Germany.

The color-expressive images of KS invite you to meditative immersion in energetic, pulsating image spaces.
Nature is a common source of inspiration. However, it is by no means presented concretely but leads to light-flooded, timeless existential landscapes.
Time - Landscape - Painting: Is it possible to paint the time? Can timelessness be represented? How is time shaped in our inner landscapes? These are questions that move Klaus Stieghorst when working on his pictures.
“We balance in between on the fine line of the present.”
The motif of fullness and emptiness: Emptiness as a timeless space and a prerequisite for the space animated by our lives and time. The abundance is a busy space in which human life causes constant change in time and space.

The clouds and the sea stand for an ever-changing world. The clouds are not waiting for anyone. Every moment is replaced by another. We balance in between on the fine line of the present.

For me, inspirations are the landscapes of the North Sea coast, the offshore islands, and the Wadden Sea. The constantly changing light on the sea and the flow of clouds in the sky are timeless.

Klaus wonders how can he present the emptiness and the constant change in space and time made possible by it and how to enable the viewers of the images to perceive this change in their own existence? The color-expressive images of the artist invite you to meditative immersion in energetic, pulsating image spaces.
“Nature is a common source of inspiration for me; however, it is by no means presented concretely, but leads to light-flooded, timeless existential landscapes.”
“The vibrating tension of the images - an expressive mixture of balance, rhythm, and bright colors - turns into my deep inner peace on intensive observation.”

An essential source of inspiration for me is the gardens of Japanese Zen monasteries. When looking at the gardens of sand and stones, a feeling of timelessness arises. The forms are simple and perfection is avoided. In the empty rooms, the sandy areas, and the stones, we can see an abundance when we are ready to perceive it.
The pictures of Klaus walk on the narrow path between the just past moment, which is no longer, and the next future moment which is not yet. The liquid medium watercolor, which refuses any subsequent revision or correction due to its transparency, is therefore ideal for painting by the artist. He is concerned with the present moment of the creation of the image, in which time seems to stand still.

For him, inspirations are on the one hand the landscapes of the North Sea coast, the offshore islands, and the Wadden Sea. Timeless is the constantly changing light on the sea and the flow of clouds in the sky. The clouds stand for an ever-changing world. The clouds are not waiting for anyone.

The melancholic consideration of the course of the seasons.
A second essential source of inspiration for Klaus are the gardens of Japanese Zen monasteries. When looking at sand and stones in the Kare - san - sui (dry gardens), a feeling of timelessness arises. The forms are simple, and perfection is avoided.
Nature is my basic source of inspiration. However, it is by no means presented concretely but leads to lightly flooded, timeless existential landscapes.

In the empty rooms, the sandy areas, and the stones, one can see an abundance when they are ready to perceive it. In a figurative sense, this also applies to the pictures of the artist. The fleeting phenomena of landscape, water, clouds, and light as well as the deep peace and consistency radiating gardens reflect the existential dimensions of one's being.

“Time and timelessness are topics and a constant question that I think while I am painting.”
