Andreas LÜTHI was born in 1961 in Frauenfeld, Switzerland. In 1985, he defended his doctorate at the University of Zyri. Since 2016 he has opened his studio in Wesslingen. In his life as a visual artist he poses philosophical questions on the subject of infinity and in this sense, the concept of space and time and how they can be represented in painting is very important to him. Andreas Lüthi is the author of many solo exhibitions in New York, Salzburg, Zurich, Lugano, Munich and Karlsruhe. In 2022 he represented Switzerland at the Venice Biennale. In August 2024 he opened his own museum dedicated to contemporary art Museo Arte Contemporanea Andreas Lüthi in Orsara di Puglia.

The conceptual approach:
Interweaving AI with human intelligence would be a wonderful idea for exponentially developing art and human life itself. The artist has asked AI how he sees the hybrid future of humanity? The result of the query was a comparison between the human being and the AI machines. But what does this mean for us humans? Will this direct connection to AI make us better people? Are we still free individuals? Can we still trust our feelings, or are we just remote beings? Now is the time to think about where we want to develop. The view of infinity and questions about the future are the essence of the artist's creativity. He views reality through the lens of infinity. To concretize this idea, he continuously paints the series of numbers borrowed from Roman Opalka. So far he has painted more than 1.2 million numbers in 500 works. The series of numbers continues in the works of art presented at the 24th Durres Biennale. Looking through this curtain of numbers takes the artist back to his childhood, when he looked at the starry sky and became aware of infinity. This incredible feeling leads to stoic calm, making it possible to take everyday problems less seriously; this conceptual approach encourages tolerance and compassion within the artist which he seeks to convey to others.
