JAN SCHÜLER
Gießen (Alemania), 1963

The German painter Jan Schüler studied Communications Design and Fine Arts. Schüler is one of the most representative artists of the new European figuration. His portraits allow us to enter scenes of everyday life, where the characters challenge us with their gaze. However, this artist's landscapes are more austere and convey serenity. Schüler was awarded the First Prize for Visual Arts in Düsseldorf in 1996 and in 2010 he received the Miraculum Lucis Prize. From 1985 to 1993 he studied painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Rissa and as a master's student with Fritz Schwegler. During his studies, Schüler also performed as a singer together with Justus Köhncke.
