About me

Tristan Vitus Tollmann, born on October 20, 1997 in Düsseldorf, grew up with art in the third generation. His father Markus Tollmann is a well-known artist, from whom Tristan was born with a talent for painting. His grandfather Günter Tollmann was also a well-known painter, sculptor and object artist.

Günter Tollmann worked together with artists such as Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint Phalle. During his cooking apprenticeship from 2015-2019 with the French 3-star chef Jean-Claude Bourgueil, he was able to experiment in a new environment and the culinary art was reflected in his painterly works.

Tristan's paintings show a strong expression and intensity. He works with many different media, from graphite drawings on handmade paper to large formats with acrylic paint and pigments. He paints the works in the style of Expressionism and Cubism. His careful painting technique and color setting make each of his works a unique work of art.

One of his works is particularly associated with the art of cooking: l'inspiration de cuisine (2017). A Cubist style painting, intense in colour, yet very reduced to the most important details.
