A biography is only so important that I alone know who I am.First the wall had to fall, before I could see the world in colors.
Berlin-based artist Ralph Kretschmar (b. 1980) creates bold, emotionally charged works rooted in his experience of growing up behind the Berlin Wall. His fictional persona, "The Boy from Behind the Wall," embodies his lifelong longing for freedom and self-expression.
Working with unconventional tools and instinctive techniques, Kretschmar transforms personal memory into vibrant, textured compositions that explore liberation, resilience, and the human spirit.
