Otmar Alt (b. 1940 Wernigerode) is a German painter, graphic artist, designer and sculptor.
Alt's often colorful pictures seem superficially cheerful and playful. On closer inspection, profound and complex stories unfold. It is characteristic of his style that his works consist of color fields with precise outlines put together like a jigsaw puzzle. He usually uses pure colors, the luminosity of which is increased by the border. Animals, especially cats, strange creatures and the circus world are his main themes.
