Stefan Ullrich

Stefan Ullrich is a contemporary German painter whose evocative landscapes explore the intersection of memory, emotion and place. Based in Bavaria, his paintings move beyond literal representation, transforming remembered landscapes into immersive compositions of colour, rhythm and atmosphere. Through a balance of expressive mark-making and expansive colour fields, Ullrich reveals the hidden structure and emotional resonance that lie beneath the natural world. His contemplative works invite viewers to slow down, reflect and reconnect with landscape as both a physical and deeply personal experience. His work has been exhibited internationally, including at the London Art Fair, LA Art Show, Aqua Art Miami and Context Art Miami, and is held in the permanent collection of the Haegeumgang Theme Museum in South Korea.

About Stefan Ullrich

Based in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, Bavaria, Germany, Stefan Ullrich approaches landscape as an emotional and psychological space rather than a direct observation of nature. Working from memory and intuition, he distils the essence of places into compositions that balance expressive gesture with moments of stillness. His paintings explore the hidden relationships between light, colour and form, creating landscapes that feel both familiar and timeless.

Influenced by artists including Paul Cézanne, Pierre Bonnard, Wolf Kahn, Matthew Wong and David Hockney, Ullrich builds layered compositions that encourage contemplation and quiet reflection. By reducing the landscape to its essential elements, he creates space for the "emotionally invisible" to emerge, inviting viewers to experience nature not simply as a place, but as a vessel for memory, introspection and human connection.
