Otto Duenne

Otto Dünne came to art late in life. He was almost sixty years old when he began to pursue his artistic interests. Art provided the ideal balance to his stressful job as a civil engineer. Dünne is now retired and can devote himself fully to his passion. He acquired the necessary skills through courses and training in watercolour painting and various art printing techniques. To realise his ideas, the Weiden native has set up a proper art printing workshop in his basement. Otto Dünne's work includes watercolours, pencil and ink drawings, copperplate prints, etchings in various techniques, woodcuts, acrylic paintings and collages. His favourite motifs are cityscapes, landscapes, plants and flowers. Compositions with graphic elements and picture stories.

Otto Dünne gives courses in watercolour painting and various relief and intaglio printing techniques. Since 2008, he has been a member of the Oberpfälzer Kunstverein (OKV) Weiden and a member of the jury. He regularly participates in group and solo exhibitions in the region and beyond.
