Stefan Raupach 

About:

Stefan Raupach is a Vancouver based visual artist, working with acrylics and mixed media. He received his initial art training when attending high school in Vernon BC, and has since been self-taught. His vibrant works range from expressive abstraction to cubic figures. 

​

Artist's Statement: 

 

"I am inspired by the philosophy of the now and use the experience of painting to preoccupy the mind and go deeply into the flow of the immediate experience. My paintings are developed through this idea, as unique forms take shape based on what I see developing in the image in the moment. This process often results in stylized, surreal and psychedelic finished pieces, conveying an otherworldly, dream-like state.

 

I see this state as ones of contemplation, personal meaning, memory, and feeling. My work is focused on visually depicting such experiences, which are often unable to be fully articulated in words. Rather, they are invoked and understood more powerfully through mood, colour, and shape."
