Pavo Royale by Otto Stürcke

Otto Stürcke was born in 1971 and grew up in Southern California. Primarily self-taught, Stürcke joined the U.S. Marine Corps in hopes of attaining financial aid to attend an art college. His plans were momentarily altered in 1991 when he was called to serve in Desert Storm. Soon after his military service, Stürcke enrolled in art workshops and courses at several local art associations while launching his illustration career under the mentorship of Mike Butkus. Although he worked in several mediums as an illustrator, Stürcke found pastels to be his principal medium of choice and ventured into the chiaroscuro style of painting. 

As a representational artist who is greatly influenced by the Dutch Masters, Otto Stürcke seeks to impart sincerity, and an admiration for the classical in a contemporary world through a variety of favored techniques.  He often aims to depict an allegorical narrative with an intriguing balance of light and dark.
