Benedikt Amrhein
Born into a family of artists in 1975, in the beautiful town of Lübeck, near the waters of the Baltic Sea, Benedikt Amrhein is now residing in Bonn, Germany's former capital. As someone who is fond of artistic excesses of all kinds (writing short stories, composing etc.), he discovered graphic art (somewhat late) during the past few years. Since then Digital Art (sometimes combined with photography) has become his passion. While not dreaming and thinking in colours, he works as a warehouseman in a medium-sized enterprise.
Benedikt regularly uses Apophysis, Bryce and Photoshop.
From my point of view, art knows no limitations; there aren’t any labels, but if they are, they should be used carefully; any form of art is part of the other art, thus any form of art can’t exist without the other. Music is impossible to be heard without creating images in one’s mind, and literature and imagery is also, in another way, an important part of music, when it comes to write music down – in form of letters (A, B, C, D and so on) and certain glyphs, which we call notes.
In this sense, art is limitless and without borders, as said above. Thus, the images I create are nothing less than sculpted and colourful words, sentences and speeches. If you want, they are the stories I never wrote.
So: art knows no limits, in my eyes. As someone, who is open for everything (in musical sense, I listen to everything from Classical Music, Film Music, Pop to Jazz, Electronical Music, including Techno and Trance, and all kinds of Rock Music, including Progressive Rock, Heavy and Progressive Metal) I am used to shift between the medias, the techniques, the different forms of art.
Especially Digital Art shows no limitations, is a never dwindling source for an aspiring artist – the greatest adventure playground you could ever imagine! An adventure playground, where I can let off steam to my heart’s content.
Many words –
Benedikt  has many galleries of Apophysis in his portfolio. Now knowing what the name of these pictures are is nice because I have many of the same style pictues throughout my house.
