Description: Rudolf is a German/Belgian artist living and painting in London. From a young age Rudolf had a great love for the arts and took art and design classes. Despite this he was sidetracked into academia, finishing with a BA in Philosophy and an MBA. He then went on to have a successful corporate career. In 2012 Rudolf returned to London and was greatly inspired by this vibrant city. He enrolled in art classes and reconnected with his passion, spending up to thirty hours a week painting whilst still holding down a demanding day job. He finally transitioned to become a full time professional artist. Rudolf is a neo-narrative figurative painter and his art typically bridges between classical painting and modern pop art. He works in series, each based on a dominant idea. Rudolf's work is influenced by his early studies of Philosophy. He specialized in Existentialism from Heidegger and Sartre; "Finding the meaning of my life and the role I play in the bigger picture within civilization and my purpose of existence are questions which are close to my heart".
