As an artist and a consultant, Erold Sommer is balancing between two realities being constantly exposed to the feeling of having to make a final decision for one of his two professions. At some point, he actively chose not to decide - and is thankful for the privilege to devote himself to both of his passions.

Art is thus a complement to my consulting life. Reconciling the heterogeneity of textures is a challenge I face - with two conflicting egos - also on a personal level. The development of my paintings is impulsive and finds its own logic in the process. I often work with impasto techniques, so many of the paintings have multiple textures of spray paint, glossy media and chalk elements.
