Julian Wald is an abstract artist with a background in technical informatics and industrial engineering. Born in 1987 and based in Munich, he explores the interplay between fate and chance. His inspiration originates from the stroke — a result of the complex interaction of physical forces such as adhesion, friction, viscosity, surface tension, and gravity. These factors not only influence how paint is applied, but also determine the texture, shape, and dynamics of the stroke itself. When examined closely, a single stroke reveals how complex, multifactorial, and chance-driven the seemingly simple act of painting truly is. It is within this tension between precision and randomness that Julian Wald’s artistic expression finds its form.
