Thomas Pöllmann creates abstract works in which layered colors form dynamic structures full of movement and depth. Using spatulas, knives, and trowels, he continuously alters the surface, giving each piece its own expressive character. The intensity arises from his choice of colors and the technique of overpainting, which reveals hidden layers. Intuition and chance work together, resulting in compositions defined by their complexity and spontaneous development. These abstract works follow no fixed rules but unfold through the creative process itself. This freedom allows emotional and visual tension to emerge, inviting viewers to form their own interpretations. Color and structure merge into a unified whole that combines both rhythmic and impulsive elements. Each layer introduces a new dynamic and opens up fresh perspectives, creating a vibrant surface that captures the moment of its creation. Through his technique and deliberate choice of materials, Thomas Pöllmann enables endless variation. His works reflect a deep engagement with the possibilities of painterly expression and demonstrate how the interplay of intuition and experimental approach can lead to unique visual worlds.

Thomas Pöllmann is an artist and coach. His professional career began in the field of object furnishing, where spatial design became one of his central focuses. This work took him to over 30 countries on six continents, including for the German Foreign Office. Over time, art became an increasingly important part of his life: in addition to sketching and watercolor painting, the self-taught artist became deeply involved in abstract oil painting. Intuition and a playful approach to chance characterize his often large-scale works, which can be found in private homes, well-known companies, and institutions such as Deutsche Bahn, the Joint Federal Committee, and government buildings like the Federal Chancellery in Berlin. His joy in creative creation is also conveyed through his coaching and workshops, where he shares knowledge and inspires others. Furthermore, he is passionately involved in environmental projects: Through his art, he initiated and supported numerous initiatives – both in his own projects and in collaboration with partners like WaldLokal or Mercedes-Benz – contributing to the sustainable planting of over 4,000 trees and making a valuable contribution to nature conservation.
