Richard Wieth is a contemporary fine artist whose work celebrates the simple beauty of life through still lifes, landscapes, figures, and vibrant cocktail paintings. His approach is not just about painting what’s in front of him—it’s about conveying the emotional essence of his subjects, inviting the viewer to experience the world through his eyes.

​

The Artistic Process: A Journey of Simplicity and Expression

Richard believes that art is a true form of self-expression. “I want everyone who looks at my paintings to know, for a moment, the simple beauty of the simple things in life,” he says. “All too often, people get caught up in details and fail to appreciate the enjoyment of simplicity.”

​

Richard does not attempt to paint photographically; he paints with an impressionistic style that adds mystery and expression to each piece. He relies on the viewer’s ability to piece together the story, leaving some aspects unsaid. Each color, brushstroke, or lack thereof is intentional, conveying emotion and expression. For Richard, the process of creating art is about much more than the finished product—it’s an interaction between the artist and the viewer, inviting deeper reflection and engagement.

Passion for Art, Passion for Life

Richard’s passion for art is deeply intertwined with his appreciation for the simple pleasures in life. His paintings explore the beauty found in everyday objects and moments, from the quiet elegance of a still life to the natural grace of animals, landscapes, and human figures. “I hope that people can see the simplicity of still lifes in their everyday environment or the deeper beauty of animals, nature, and people. I paint them spontaneously, directly, and confidently to encourage a deeper connection with my work.”

His dedication to his craft is evident in every piece he creates. Richard’s energy and love for art are embedded in his paintings, and he hopes that these qualities will resonate with viewers, allowing them to experience the same joy and peace he feels in the act of creating.
