Hi and hello,
My name is Chris Bleicher.
About me in brief:
My art is my passion and is inspired by my many exotic travels. Through my artwork I want to
express "joy of living", stimulate the fantasy and promote a positive attitude with
colors and shapes.
I don't have a leisure time in the conventional sense, as my profession is my free time.
I find time to keep my body fit, because an esthetic body has a special fascination
for me as an artist. I like to visit ballet performances to study the beautifully shaped and
defined bodies in motion. Female and male eroticism, too, plays a role in my art. The stimulant
for the erotic comes of life. Of particular interest are fringe groups. Any incident inspires my art.
Since more than 18 years I have shown commitment for preserving nature in combination
with technology. I love people and animals. Today an intact nature is
more important than ever before for the next generations. |
Yours, Chris Bleicher |
