Greek Landscapes

"The common denominator in Jochen Schmidt's Greek landscapes is the surrealism in realism. When the surrealism and realism are linked in his landscapes, time suspends. For Jochen Schmidt it is the use of mixed media that lend the texture of the material and three-dimensionality. They capture the archaic character of the Greek landscapes by the means of dazzling light, undulating coasts, and the architectural Greek values. Jochen Schmidt globalizes the Greek landscapes through the eyes of a German painter with the soul of a modern Greek."
