CV

Markus Renner was born in 1972 in St. Georgen/Austria. His artistic path guided him already early from photo realistic painting to a unique style of photography which has a lot in common with building art at first sight. Being an autodidact, Marcus Renner found his own highly emotional connection to photography. His internationally rewarded pictures and series of photos are created from the moment and awake from their inner engagement to life. He stages mainly spacious landscapes from around the world with great passion. His photograhic journeys brought him to Argentinia, Bolivia, Chile, Iceland, Namibia, Peru, Kamtshatka, Nicaragua and the USA.

PURITY

Reduced on an absolute maximum: On journeys all my senses are awake for new point of views of perspectives. I discover here those extraordinary views in which the world starts to shine in an exciting light.

“Purity” symbolizes ideal clarity in which a moment transfers into lively pictures with timed depths. The perfect moment does not count for me for the perfect staged photograph. I do not compose an idealized image of reality. My pictures are rather the visual expression of a time frame which i literally absorb with all senses. When I arrive at a certain place, I allow the encounter with this place to flow through my lense into my emotional world during my presence. I turn my view then onto certain shapes and shades which have attracted my attention by their uniqueness and their auro full of character. Like this, small details are especially important for the entire artwork. This created artwork language is a pure mirror image of my personal perception and goes beyond terms like day time, lightening conditions, light shade, and lightening. Resting and moving are flowing into each other and unite in one picture my impresions and the richness of nuances in nature as a matter of face.

I allow my camera to catch the moment of a photography in its whole. My pictures aren´t snap shots. They rather invite the viewer to experience its creation in all its intensitiy and to see every “stroke of the brush” growing and to feel it. They invite the viewers to feel my art (as I do) with all senses.
