David Tollmann

David Tollmann, born in 1988 in the tranquil Lower Saxony town of Sulingen and raised in Nienburg an der Weser, is undoubtedly an extraordinary talent who plays an outstanding role in the art scene. As a descendant of an artistic dynasty steeped in the creative spirit across generations, Tollmann has found his own unique voice as a modern artist, defined by a distinctive fusion of expression, color and emotion. David Tollmann seems to have been born with an artistic soul.

As the son of the renowned artist Markus Tollmann and grandson of the important painter and art professor Günter Tollmann, he was deeply immersed in the art world from his childhood. Through family connections to artists such as Joseph Beuys, Pablo Picasso, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle and Günther Uecker, he grew up in an atmosphere of creative exchange and inspiring influences. He spent his childhood in the home of his stepfather Joachim Henne, who had become a real father to him. He says he taught David how to live a decent life and raised him as his own son. Here, too, he was always surrounded by culture and art. His artistic journey began in his childhood, but not directly. After years of painting, working in the catering industry and training to be a chef, he dared to change careers and immersed himself completely in the world of art in 2014.
