Blending the worlds of
culinary arts and visual arts
Horst the
WineFood Painter
As an innovative artist and experienced chef, I have
seamlessly merged my culinary expertise with my passion for visual art. My
unique technique involves using pigments extracted from herbs and spices, along
with wine reductions, to create vibrant and textured masterpieces. With a rich
background in food styling and over four decades as a chef and culinary
educator, I have honed a refined sense of presentation, color composition, and
creative expression.
My recent work explores the dissolution of food-based
pigments from ingredients such as saffron, turmeric, and chili in wine and wine
reductions. These pigments are often stabilized using clear acrylic, gesso or
Mod Podge, ensuring the longevity and vibrancy of my artwork. Additionally, I
experiment with using wine and charcoal derived from burned wine bottle corks
to create unique textures and depth on canvas.
By blending the worlds of culinary arts and visual arts, I
offer a distinctive perspective that celebrates the sensory experience of both
fields. My journey as the WineFood Painter continues to evolve, pushing the
boundaries of traditional art with my innovative use of food and wine as
mediums.
