The modern human Painting

Tony Weiss: German painter from Leipzig Transforming Discarded Materials into Thought-Provoking Art Tony Weiss is an emerging artist from Bern who enriches the contemporary art scene with his unique upcycling art. As a visionary innovator, he masterfully transforms carelessly discarded materials into fascinating artworks that not only captivate aesthetically but also convey a powerful message about sustainability and the responsible use of our finite resources. With a keen eye for the hidden, Weiss discovers his materials in unexpected places—whether it’s driftwood in the Aare River, remnants from large-scale renovations in Bern, treasures found while hiking in the majestic mountains, or pieces collected during his travels through various landscapes. Each found object tells its own story, adding remarkable depth and authenticity to his work. His artworks are hand-painted and illustrated using brushes, ink, and deep black acrylic paint, making every piece a unique creation. The different surfaces and textures of the reclaimed materials play a striking role in his compositions, inviting viewers to recognize the beauty in the ordinary. Weiss’ works not only encourage reflection on our ecological footprint but also inspire dialogue about environmental awareness and the appreciation of materials. Through his creative approach, he seeks to motivate people to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle and to perceive the world around them with fresh eyes. Excerpt from ARTMAGZIN 2023
