Rocks have a rich and diverse history. Often grey and unassuming, they are witnesses to a past removed from us. How did they end up becoming objects of Schönberg’s paintings?

It runs in the family. Torsten Schönberg, the artist’s son and himself a geologist, cut out, prepared and analyzed stone samples. Their microscopic design inspired his father to create extraordinary pieces of art that led to a new phase of creative works. Schönberg’s petrographic paintings allowed him to turn science into art, and art into creative images of science. This is entirely in keeping with his motto, portraying nature artistically while learning to understand in the process.

Ätsch hier steht noch nichts.
