Born in 1954 in Zurich, Switzerland. Lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland.

Swiss artist Uwe Wittwer has accumulated an impressive
body of work featuring painting, watercolour and Ink-jet prints. Recurrent motifs in his oeuvre are references to Old Masters paintings, still life, interiors and genre scenes. While the works are figurative, Wittwer is more accurately a painter of images; the principal of the pictorial and his very own painterly style unify all three techniques. Throughout his work, Wittwer is concerned with the authenticity and truth of the image, the multiple refractions of reality, and the role of the artist as image hunter and voyeur.

Wittwer’s works are represented in international collections such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA; Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht, Belgium; Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland; Sammlung Ludwig, Aachen, Germany.
