Rittmeister Belvedere House

My name is Gregor Constantin Rittmeister and I was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on 25.09.2006. I moved to Switzerland shortly later and grew up bilingual.

At the age of 4, I started taking Art Classes after school. I painted a lot, but also started at an early age to work with ceramics and wood. I always loved being creative and trying out different techniques.

Nowadays I really enjoy creating collages and decorative Art. Famous young artists inspire me a lot for my work, but I also enjoy exploring museums with the most famous artists of the world.

Aiglon College provides me with the possibility to learn more about the different art movements I love.

I like art because I think I can express my ideas and themes by creating works.

I like to do sketches, watercolours, or oil paintings on paper. Whenever I have an idea, I create my own artwork.

I was particularly interested in anime and manga when I was small, and these anime added to my interest in art. Each of my paintings has a corresponding theme.

Often drawing things can improve my skills and relieve my stress. I hope that the audience can have a deeper understanding of these ideas through my works.

Since I started art last year I have worked with acrylic, oil paint and watercolor.

Since starting art and before, I've been to many museums and galleries, and I think what inspired me the most amongst all the artists is that the range of work as well as the different media used to express the same ideas. Seeing how different people interpret the same artwork.

I think all my work from the past two years, even though I experimented and used different techniques, shows how gradually I became more confident as we did different topics.

One of my works that had a clear intention about it was my packaged face idea. This is the work I finally could express a deeper meaning with, which was how society had the idea of a perfect face and sold it to billions of women.

I love experimenting with different textures, layering and doing artist studies since I find it very interesting to research the history and development of art.

Over the past few years I have enjoyed taking art and look forward to finishing it in a few months.

Throughout my time working though my Art GCSE I have explored the features of the human face through a variety of mediums mimicking many different artists techniques and varying styles such as Burne Hogarth, Picasso and many others.

I have worked with paints, clay, a variety of techniques and types of printing and drawing. I am interested in the effects that age, gender and linking the themes from Art GCSE to my work trying to portray as abstract portraits.

I have explored themes such as past present, future and lock but more specifically, portraits and still life.

I have used all kinds of media, including acrylic paint, watercolour and pencil but my preferred form of media is pencil. The artists Betina La Plante, kira Kim and Arthur Rackham have inspired my work but I have also been inspired by my roommate Maria Sarfelt who I have photographed for my art multiple times.

In my work throughout the past two years I have explored lots of different themes and used lots of different media to find the ones that I prefer.

The main themes explored during the course were past, present and future and now we are currently looking at the theme ‘lock’. I have found media that I prefer such as pencil and clay but my most preferred media is oil paints.

I like oil paint and working with it because it’s very easy and I find it a better alternative to acrylics because it's easier to work with as it doesn't dry fast and it is quite thick so it is easier to paint things that can require lots of layers with other types of paints.
