Ga langs bij dieter.f.mertens
tijdens Atelier in beeld.

Atelier in beeld is hét grote open atelierweekend voor beeldend kunstenaars in heel Vlaanderen en Brussel. Een ideaal moment om ateliers in jouw buurt te ontdekken.

Atelier in beeld is een project van Kunstwerkt.

dieter.f.mertens is inspired by the different aspects of psychology. The artist starts from emotions that are rarely shown in society. In his works, he visualises difficult subjects as disappointment, guilt, doubt. The precision of his skill, seems to remember the scientific approach of psycho-analytics. Each detail is exposed, every wrinkle, every doubt or inability is captured on the timeless canvas.

Despite the hardness of the subjects and the almost scientific visualisation, the works of dieter.f.mertens remain above all very human and intended to initiate a dialogue with the viewer.

dieter.f.mertens is not loyal to a specific style, but he adjusts the form to the emotion that he wants to convey. As such, his portfolio shows figurative, abstract but also conceptual works. Several short movies and industrial prints are an extension of his visual language.
