Oliver Schwarzwald is a storyteller, telling tales through his images. These could be inspired by many things – experiences, memories, important and less important observations – and are expressed through a variety of techniques. As Schwarzwald himself says: “different messages need different executions”. Born in Gdansk, and now resident in Hamburg, his often fantastical and surreal tales are composed with a precise and meticulous attention to detail – and particularly to the lighting of the image. His work is unified by the sensation of serenity which one gains through “arousing small, simple feelings”. Since 2021, Oliver is a member of the Art Directors Club Germany.
