The Master of 2000 is

Siegfried Schreck is an artist who surely loves to challenge himself in various fields: painting, poetry, writing lyrics.
He once wanted to surf the oceans for adventure and that dream brought him to Hamburg, the great Hanseatic City. He actually didn't leave but now he's actively surfing the Net meeting other artists with whom he's planning many mutual projects.
He already exhibited his artworks on many web galleries worldwide.
His geometrical and abstract paintings are dominated by a sense of serenity and his Hamburg landscapes with the ships, the gardens and the architectural foreshortenings perfectly depict the heart of the Hanseatic City. Anyone who's ever been to Hamburg will immediately feel the atmosphere of that beautiful city through Siegfried's paintings.
Please visit his page at BTDesign Art Gallery here and don't forget to visit his website, where you'll find many other paintings, poems and lyrics.
