Johannes Stoetter – Master of the Unseen

Johannes Stoetter – Master of the Unseen

Original was uploaded on 2019-05-21

He likes animals and nature;
Loves painting and playing violin.
For a long time, Johannes Stötter wasn’t sure how to unite his talents and passions.

About Johannes Stötter:
Johannes grew up in Val di Vizze/Pfitsch near Vipiteno/Sterzing and discovered his passion for painting and drawing at an early age. In addition to his education and philosophy studies at the University of Innsbruck he kept his head above water with a series of side jobs while he discovered body painting. His frog interpretation garnered him worldwide attention in 2013, as did his wolf and chameleon motifs. A career was born.
The model stands motionless, though she continues to shiver. With paint-covered hands Johannes reaches for the camera. Things have to happen quickly now before the reflection of the water changes or the next cloud passes by. And then I hear the quiet ‘click’ of the camera shudder.
She has become one with the breathtaking panorama. Johannes is right: In order to see something special, you only have to look closely. With an expression of satisfaction, Johannes said: “My current profession unites everything that I ever wanted from life.” Once, he was unsure how to unite his many talents and now he notices, piece by piece, that his life has become a complete work of art. It’s like a colourful puzzle and one day it all fit together, like his works of art in which it’s hard to tell where the person ends and nature begins.
