Roland Seibertz

Picture
As a young man in West Germany, Roland started his degree in architecture but very soon became absorbed in archaeological restoration. He worked on a large set of drawings for the excavation of Roman churches in the south of Baden-Wurtemberg. 
 
In 1976 he visited New Zealand and was keen to pursue a career in fine arts. Unfortunately, this was not on the skills list for immigration and so he returned to Germany to study cabinet making.After completing his apprenticeship, he moved permanently to New Zealand in 1981. At that time he was painting with water colours, very soon progressing to larger scale acrylic on canvas or egg tempera paintings on canvas, many of which were sold through the Elva Bett Gallery in Wellington. Later he started work as a custom furniture maker and made furniture for some significant buildings in Wellington, the new Waikato Arts Museum and buildings in Auckland.
 
Although continuing to paint alongside his day job, over the last 5 years Roland returned to painting large scale works again, and it is these large canvases he will be exhibiting from 8 - 21 October at Mangawhai Artists Gallery. 
 
Roland states: "My paintings are perhaps ideas rather than painted actualities, landscapes of light that give an idea of a place or an effect, an abstract mirror. I get asked what in-spires me: human beings, my family and friends inspire me, the colours of nature inspire me, love of nature inspires me.

Its not that I get inspired and then paint. I think that is separate. I don’t get inspired and then go to work. Feeling inspired or getting inspiration is a time of happiness perhaps, of life value. Its true, I drive or walk through a landscape and find the colours fascinating, knowing this is a colour combination I like and I will more or less reproduce on canvas. In the studio though its work.
​
I interpret nature with entire simplicity. Painting is nature and its colours secluded from the traffic of every days world. Silence, soundless speech. Scenes before me recorded not as facts but transformed into a new joy of seeing.
The feeling of colour and the discovery of looking."
