02 BIOGRAPHY

Biography

Learn about the history and artistic journey behind this position.

Christian Schumacher's artistic journey began in his childhood, fostered by playful painting competitions with his grandmother. While his cousin often claimed victory, for Christian, winning was never the point; he painted purely from an aesthetic perspective. This early experience laid the groundwork for his deep connection with art.

Years later, at the age of 17, he was further drawn into the world of creativity by graffiti friends. One early Saturday morning, a friend made a long journey to him, arriving with a canvas, paint, and a bottle of wine. That day, Christian had his first true encounter with a canvas, an experience that ignited his lifelong passion for art.

Since 2012, Christian has lived in Berlin, fully immersing himself in the city's vibrant art scene. For the past four years, he has worked as an independent artist, continuously developing his craft.

His talent and dedication led him to sign a contract with S.A.V. Gallery in Los Angeles two years ago, a collaboration that will soon expand to New York when the gallery opens its presence there in July.

With his bold, expressive style and a steadily growing international presence, Christian Schumacher is an artist who is redefining contemporary creativity, one canvas at a time.

03 ARTIST STATEMENT

Statement

Thoughts, attitudes, and perspectives directly from artistic practice.

"My name is Christian Schumacher and I am a painter from Germany living in Berlin. For the last 10 years, I have dedicated my life to the goal of becoming a professional painter and building an international career. This means, above all, that I travel to other countries to exchange ideas with other cultures and to be inspired by the new environment, by the people, the architecture, the daily lives of the locals, the music, etc. In 2018, I went on a trip to Portugal and had the opportunity to hold two exhibitions. With the paintings sold, I was able to finance this trip and support a local art commune in Lisbon. Based on this trip, a print magazine in the USA wrote an article about me and my vision. To mention just one great experience through and with my art: My main sources of inspiration are books, music, and languages. The aesthetics of numbers, letters, and colors in combination are so much fun for me that I want to continue pursuing this passion, with which I am fortunately able to make a living."
