Stefan Gross (*1979, Bendorf) absolvierte eine Lehre als Glasmaler. Während seiner Ausbildung war er von farbigem Glas umgeben und lernte, in Farbe zu denken. 1988 wurde er zum Meister der Praxis ernannt und schloss sie mit dem Studium der Malerei an der HBK Saar, Saarbrücken, ab. Nach seinem Studium, das er mit cum laude abschloss, zog er in die Niederlande. Hier lebt und arbeitet er, immer auf der Suche nach neuen
Maltechniken. 2006 entwickelte er ein eigenes Material, das er heute überwiegend verwendet. Es entsteht durch das Färben eines industriellen Kunststoffs mit klassischen Ölfarben. Es ist Oberfläche und Farbe in einem und ermöglicht es Stefan Gross, die Lackoberfläche dreidimensional zu erweitern. Es verhält sich bei niedriger Temperatur wie Glas.

Stefan Gross (*1979, Bendorf) completed an apprenticeship as a glass painter. During his training he was surrounded by coloured glass and learned to think in colour. In 1988 he was appointed master of practice and completed it with the study of painting at the HBK Saar, Saarbrücken. After his studies, which he completed cum laude, he moved to the Netherlands.
Here he lives and works, always in search of new painting techniques. In 2006 he developed his own material, which he uses mostly today. It is created by dyeing an industrial plastic with classic oil paints. It is surface and colour in one and enables Stefan Gross to extend the paint surface three-dimensionally. At low temperature it behaves like glass.
