The sculptor and painter René Theurich, born in 1973, lives in See near Niesky, in Lower Silesian Upper Lusatia, together with his wife and children. He works since 2005 as a freelance artist in his studio, a 200-year-old clay cottage with annex. He devoted himself to the material wood already early after he made his first attempts in painting (comic art). Increasingly, he felt that modern sculptures and sculpture became his artistic metier, as he felt more and more comfortable in this material.

He quickly gave up his professional work as a furniture restorer to enter the public eye as a freelance artist in 2005. His first works were still round and soft. Later, he discovered angular, rough lines for himself and gave the fire the appropriate freedom. Later he began to deal sculpturally with stone, around 2009 he created his first corresponding works and then, relying on his inner destiny, he devoted himself even more intensively to art, searching for meaning. Autodidactically he approached this in theory and practice. Various side projects such as learning various musical instruments and some music band themes drove him more and more to his real desire - the visual arts. He intensified his work as an artist. So now he works with chain saw and hand tools to produce new objects. More works with steel and concrete followed. Theurich abstracts without neglecting the body. His figurative works hint at contentual confrontations with lifelike themes, but remain inwardly real.
