Artist Spotlight: An Interview with Hilmar Gottesthal

As part of our ongoing effort to support and celebrate local creativity, the Ferleman Gallery is proud to present an interview series featuring the local voices behind the art. In each conversation, a local artist will share the story behind their work—their motivations, their artistic journey, and what it means to create within and for the community. These interviews offer a closer look at the people whose visions shape our local culture and provide a platform for authentic connection between artist and audience.

Join us for an electrifying conversation with Hilmar Gottesthal, a distinguished painter and sculptor whose thoughtful, expressive works have enriched our region’s artistic landscape. In this interview, he will share the inspiration behind his art, the journey that shaped his unique creative voice, and how his exploration of form, color, and narrative reflects both personal experience and cultural heritage. From early influences to his current projects, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the discipline, curiosity, and vision that guide a lifelong dedication to the arts—and how Hilmar’s work continues to spark dialogue, reflection, and connection within our community.
