Cornelius Völker (*1965) studied at the Academy of Art Düsseldorf from 1989 to 1995. He lives and works in Düsseldorf. Völker developed a powerful and richly colourful style of figurative painting in which realism and an expressive impasto technique combine to form a distinctive pictorial language. His paintings make familiar objects appear in a different light, revealing surprising facets with both virtuosity and a sense of humour.
