Bernd Lauer was born in Braunschweig-Lehndorf Germany in 1952. He grew up in modest circumstances and, after graduating from school, began his training as a wholesale and foreign trade merchant. After graduating, he left Braunschweig to gain experience in the "world".

He spent his professional life in the real estate industry. From Bremen via Frankfurt to Hanover, where he married in 1978 and his daughter was born.

It wasn't until 2005 that he got access to art and learned that there is also a spiritual life.

In 2009 he had his first studio in the Osnabrücker Land and a little later his first exhibitions.

He learned to express his feelings through colors. Since he did not complete an art degree, he continued his education at workshops and similar events and looked over the shoulders of other artists.

One of Bernd Lauer's goals is to present images in a new way to the viewer over and over again, so that they don't become boring.

Painting was soon no longer enough for him.

Bernd Lauer dealt with photography and the digital possibilities in art.

Creating a new work now consisted not only of brush and canvas, but also of photos and the computer.

These variants offered his creative mind further opportunities for self-expression.

His great imagination and his special sense of color are reflected in his pictures. In many works he cannot deny his spiritual attitude. For Bernd Lauer, the path is the art and the work is the result.
