Lammar began as a self-taught
landscape painter in the
eighties, creating watercolor
paintings about the city and
the country of Luxembourg,
where he was born in 1956.

During the nineties, his work
quickly evolved into more and
more imaginary compositions
and acrylic colours became the
favourite media of the artist.


According to the artist, his
love of traveling – he made a
round the world trip from
November 1992 to May 1994 -
added to his interest in
primitive cultures as well as
increasing the use of
non-traditional elements in
his work, like sand, wood,
rusted metal pieces, rope, and
small stones.

Today, the speciality of Rom
Lammar are abstract paintings
influenced by sculptural forms
and texture.

The magic of his compositions
is based on several factors :
the way he uses depth, light
and shadow to set the overall
mood of his paintings, the
unique texture of the surface
and the very specific patterns
and elements of the
composition that very often
have an ethnic touch.

« Although my creations are
very intuitive and based on a
great spontaneity, I never
forget the basic principles of
a good abstract composition :
the right space division,
unity, fineness...
