Since the beginning of his career in the middle of the 1980s, Uwe Wittwer’s works have been questioning the truth behind images and visual representation. His oeuvre encompasses paintings, water colours, charcoal drawings, works on paper and sculptural works on glass. Through his works, Wittwer takes the viewer to poetical, dreamlike and picturesque worlds of the unknown.
