Nico Sawatzki is certainly not a landscape painter in the classic sense.

The beginnings of his art lie in street art. Sawatzki is one of the very few street artists who have developed their very own, unmistakable style, moving away from the house wall and towards the canvas. This is characterized by the motifs and an artistic technique developed over many years, which gives his works a high recognition value. The artist works with the classic medium of street art, the spray can. Only the surface is different. While the spray mist adheres immediately and irreversibly to rough wall structures, the artist has a certain amount of time in which to work on the fine mist of acrylic paint when applying it to the canvas. It is precisely this momentum that Sawatzki makes use of: his works are created in an eternal cycle of construction and deconstruction of individual layers of paint. In an elaborate process, the artist lays between 40 and 50 individual layers on top of each other on average. Using different comb spatulas, he carves into the damp layers, sometimes more, sometimes less deeply, thus creating abstract structures that together form images of blurred forests, lakes, rivers and mountains.

Sawatzki's color palette varies from delicate pastel tones to intense, high-contrast nuances. His choice of colors influences the mood and atmosphere of the work, from calming and meditative to dynamic and lively. Nico Sawatzki's works are not only a visual feast, but also an invitation to the viewer to explore the different levels of their own perception.

As a former street artist, he surprises with emotive landscape paintings based on personal memories and experiences.
