Artist Interview With Dania Reichmuth
Today’s Artist Interview Is With Dania Reichmuth from Winterthur, Switzerland
Whopple: How long have you been an artist?
Dania: As far back as I can remember, I have been into some drawing, stenciling, faux painting. Furthermore, if you take being artistic in it’s broader sense, I have always worked my hands – ceramics, faux painting, music etc. – So, you could say that I have always had the creative bug.
Whopple: Tell us about your first attempts to be creative.
Dania: I became interested in imaging back in 1987 when I began using a computer/projector to present my school work. I started scanning images and learned my way around the digital darkroom. I took an interest in photography in 1990. Thus, I was weaned on digital photography.
If there is any theme to my work, is that I tend to photograph living things. Nature is beautiful and I like to capture it. I specially enjoy macro photography, because you see what we ordinarily cannot. I also particularly enjoy portraiture. Photography fills a creative void for me. I have explored all kinds of creative arts over the years – piano, guitar, when I was young, oil painting, ceramic studio owner, these things have gone with me through life and all hold a special place for me. But still, they don’t quite touch that part of me that wants to ‘draw’ the real world as I see it around me.
