MEDIUMS: Oil, Graphite, Mixed Media, Digital
SPECIALTY: ✔ Generalist
My goal as a realist is to understand complexities and details; my interest is how the human eyes perceive, not how a camera sees. My drawing technique allows me to define and celebrate the tiniest nuances, complex markings, patterns, and textures.
I do not copy but reinvent and slowly build an innovative image. I aim to inspire viewers to look closer at the world around them and start their own creative journey.
“A good “rendering” represents what a person sees, but “a work of art” illuminates what others do not.”

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
Armin Mersmann was born in Remscheid, Germany, in 1955. Along with his parents, he immigrated to the United States in 1962. He grew up in an artistic environment and was greatly influenced and tutored by his father, Fritz Mersmann, a successful oil painter.
Although Mersmann is mainly known for his intense naturalistic graphite drawings, he also works in photography; these works are much more about the idea of exploration than the drawings, but it’s a wonderful balance. “My interests have become exceedingly experimental with more attention placed on the surfaces of the work itself. Discovering and rediscovering my chosen medium is the everlasting stimulus that keeps me interested and excited. Accidental process and meticulous planning co-mingle in all my work. Texture, either real or illusionary, and that one ever-elusive brushstroke, the one that says it all; this keeps me searching and exploring.
