DANIEL SAMBO-RICHTER

Daniel Sambo-Richter (b. 1966, Görlitz) is a Berlin-based painter whose practice ranges from abstraction to figuration, with a deep engagement in landscapes, history, and the intersections of culture and nature. Educated at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden in Cottbus, Sambo-Richter has received numerous scholarships and residencies, and his works have been exhibited internationally, including in Angola, the U.S., Poland, Denmark, and Germany.

​

His abstract paintings are notable for their luminous color fields, fluid forms, and sensitive compositions, exploring the boundaries between materiality and imagination. Sambo-Richter often uses motifs from nature, such as ice, fire, and landscapes, as metaphors for social, psychological, and environmental transformation. While his earlier works sometimes addressed themes of historical conflict and catastrophe, his recent abstractions have moved towards a more peaceful visual language, suggesting states of contemplation, renewal, and the continuity of life.

​

For Sambo-Richter, painting is a means to dissolve the separations between culture and nature, and between physical and imagined realities. His approach invites viewers into spaces that hold both memory and possibility, balancing the poetic with the philosophical in each canvas
