About the artist
The versatility of nature permanently inspires my artistic work
The Scottish artist Ronny Cameron was born in Glasgow in 1944. He studied art at the Fine Art Academy in Brighton. Since 1972 he has lived in Geretsried, Germany, where he works as a freelance artist.

Although Ronny Cameron gave up his artistic activities from the mid-1980s for family reasons, the thought of painting never left him and so in 2014 he took up brush and paint again to deal with his experiences and feelings in painting.
His representational works show the situations in a realistic way and with powerful directness.
His abstract works, on the other hand, demand a closer look in order to obtain a clear explanation.
When he walks in nature, he says, sometimes I see scenes that look to me like finished paintings. Later he tries to interpret these scenes in his own way. Cameron doesn't want to copy these scenes, he says, I can't do that, I want to put them on the canvas in a different way so that the viewer can also see these scenes differently.
In music there are examples of such scenes / interpretations for him, such as the Beatles' song With a Little Help From My Friends; a great song but through Joe Cocker's interpretation the song gets a different life breathed into it. Although the lyrics and the notes are the same, it has become a different song, Cameron explains. The same with the song Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack, which was reinterpreted by the group The Fugees. A totally new song was created. He wants to do something similar with his paintings. He takes something from nature and reinterprets it for himself.
