Jorrit Tornquist was born in 1938 in Graz, Austria. He is above all a painter: he has been studying colours and perception for forty years, starting from a very scientific and ecological approach, based on accurate experiments on colour, density and clarity and on the analysis of the complementary effects, according to the Concrete Art tradition.
Despite being present in numerous art collections and in important international museums, his fame is also due to colouring projects of large architectural complexes.
