Ansgar Skiba is a German landscape painter. He studied at the College of Fine Arts in Dresden from 1981 and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Düsseldorf from 1983 to 1988.
Ansgar Skiba's paintings have an impressive intensity: a dynamic rush of colours, white caps dancing on the surf, lush vegetation that the artist paints on the canvas with his hands, wooden sticks or paintbrush handles and which now seem to overgrow in relief.
Ansgar Skiba is particularly interested in the interaction between surface and space. He often uses perspective, reminiscent of the view through a zoom lens: landscapes and nature are reduced to a small archetypal fragment and convey a strong impression of the beauty of the whole precisely by the reduction to detail on a small surface.
