NORTH AFRICAN DOOR, Wernet, Hans-Peter.

Acrylic on canvas, signed Wernet lower right and dated (2)023. The artist Hans-Peter Wernet, who now lives in Chemnitz, was born on 11 February 1949 in Elzach in the Black Forest. He demonstrated his talent for painting as early as primary school, but despite the advice of his primary school teacher, he received no artistic training and began an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker for period furniture. Due to his creative streak, he went on to become a structural draftsman and construction technician, winning a 1st prize for his designs. It was only with his retirement that change and reflection on the past occurred, and he took up paint, brush, and canvas, giving free rein to his art. The artist, now living in Saxony, discovered his passion for Africa, especially for Tunisia, where he has made several trips with local exhibitions, thus combining his love for the architecture and everything related to the North African country on the Mediterranean.
