Day 204 - Who is Otto Schade?

So the winner is.....


Who is the man behind the suns....?

Otto Schade was born in Chile on the 30th October 1971. He initially studied Architecture at the Bio Bio University and Construction and Design Architecture in Concepcion, Chile. As a successful architect, he has been awarded for public and private projects.


Otto has always felt an avid fascination for the Surrealists, as well as the freedom which surrounds abstract painting. This influence has made Otto turn his creative skills to painting, which has become his strongest passion and for which he has also been recognised with an honourable mention.

With the development of this other talent, Otto begins a journey in the search for new ideas and wider exposure for his work, taking him to exhibit his work in Concepcion (Chile), Berlin, Moscow, New York, Amsterdam and finally to London where he is currently living and working.

Otto’s painting ranges from abstract and surrealism to even urban art. Working mainly with oil paint and traditional supports such as stretched canvas, he also practices other techniques such as collage, illustration and stencil. The themes behind his compositions read in a personal, metaphorical sense with a sharp, ironic touch.

All of the images in this blog are photos I have taken of Otto's work over the last few years up in London. All of the words borrowed from Otto's website.....

He doesn't just do suns but does a very good smoking bandage woman!!!
