MURTI JUNG


BIOGRAPHY

Murti Jung, originally from a small town in the Black Forest region of Germany, has established a notable career in art direction. His leadership at top advertising agencies like Publicis Groupe, DDB VAC, and McCann Group exemplifies a career marked by creativity and innovation. Murti’s progression continued as the director and owner of Gear Factor Co. Ltd., where he skilfully combined his artistic talents with the dynamic worlds of the event and music industry. Educated at the University for Communication-Design Hamburg, Murti has lived and worked in diverse cultural hubs, including Hamburg, Amsterdam, Munich, and Hong Kong, enhancing his global perspective. His diverse experience is further reflected in his contributions to esteemed publications such as Vogue, Elle, Forbes, Focus, and Wiener Magazine.

In his twenties, he went on a transformative journey to India in pursuit of spiritual depth, with meditation playing a key role in his artistic development. This period was further enriched by his connection with Japanese painter Meera Hashimoto, whose mentorship expanded his fine art horizons and introduced him to the intricacies of Asian artistic styles. An evolving interest in Zen and other Buddhist teachings, along with several visits to Japan, deepened Murti's appreciation for nature and honed his meticulous attention to detail.


WORK

Murti's artistic philosophy is deeply rooted in the notion that authentic art arises from a place of introspection and meditative tranquility. His work, characterized by abstract expressionism, contemporary portraiture, and conceptual art, encompasses themes of nature, music, and spirituality, along with modern takes on still life. It invites an exploration into the spiritual and emotional depths. Murti’s art skillfully blends traditional digital painting techniques with Synthography. His creations reflect his rich life experiences, embodying the depths uncovered through meditation and the vibrant energy found in nature. His art, a visual odyssey of his own soul’s journey, extends an intimate invitation to viewers to explore the depths of their own existence.
