 Richard
Winkler was born in June 26, 1969 in Norrkoping,
Sweden. As a child he was inspired by his grandfather,
a painter, who later gave him his first lessons.
After high school, he attended the Nyckelviken School
of Art where he studied visual arts, and the Beckmans
School of Design where he studied fine arts. He
was particularly fascinated by life classes and
the human body. |

 From
1992 to 1997 he worked as an illustrator for magazines,
advertising and television. His special creative
talents were recognized by such important firms
as the Swedish Telecom (Telia)
and post office (Posten).
He was known for his originality and given great
freedom to work as he wished.
In 1997 he moved to Bali. He currently lives in
Kedewatan, just north of Ubud.
My earlier works were focused on the lines and curves
of the human body.
After a few visits to the tropical island of Sri
Lanka, more nature started to appear in my paintings.
In Bali, my figures changed and became more human-like
with hands and faces, but at the same time more
harmonious with nature. The light and the colours
became stronger. |

 Mostly
I start sketching directly on the canvas with charcoal.
When I have found a composition I make a detailed
drawing. From there I start painting, creating volumes
and light with fine strokes. It takes a lot of time
to finish a painting. A few weeks up to a month
is not unusual. The longest time I have spent on
a painting is three months. |
