Norbert Folberger

It was a life full of tension and unexpected twists and turns that brought the artist NORBERT FOLBERGER back to Berlin. Born in Schwerin in 1954, the sculptor and painter has struggled through life, battling with himself and his surroundings. He is not one of those streamlined artists you'd find in the art world. He studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. He was in no hurry. He wanted to know before he showed himself. He came to say something and to be able to say something. Through his own initiative and management, he had extended stays around the world in various studios, which he used to achieve national and international success. He lived for long periods in Paris, the Dominican Republic, and Latvia. The focus of Folberger's work is the human being. His strength in art is figuration in sculpture and painting. Since 1989, he can look back on numerous exhibitions in Europe, Asia, and America.
