If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Genaro Strobel (* 5 September 1984 in Frankfurt am Main) is a German visual artist. He is known for large-format works created using a technique developed by himself in 2010, combining photography, painting, drawing, and collage.
Early life and education
[edit]Strobel was born in Frankfurt am Main. He studied at the Berlin University of the Arts from 2006 to 2007 and at the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin from 2007 to 2010 under Antje Majewski, Werner Liebmann, and Hanns Schimansky. From 2010 to 2014, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig with Heribert C. Ottersbach[1], graduating in 2014.
Artwork
[edit]Strobel’s practice centers on large-scale woodcuts. The process begins with conceptual development and photography. These images are then engraved onto wood using high-precision lasers. The printing blocks are painted with oil-based colors.[2]
He has worked with photographs from the Messel Pit (a UNESCO World Heritage site), as well as images taken at an inventors’ fair in Darmstadt and in various locations in and around Berlin.[2]
Strobel describes the paleontological research site Messel Pit as a place that can be compared to aspects of his artistic process: “You don't know exactly what you'll find.”[3] Since 2020, Strobel has been working with a digital medium format camera.[3] In his working process, the grain and texture of the rotary-cut veneer panels (birch, pine, or poplar) play an essential role in the pictorial composition.[3] Furthermore, the works emerge from gestural, abstract painting and areas of color.
Some of his prints reach up to four meters in height and seven meters in width. This development toward larger formats began during a residency at the Charlotte Prinz Studio House in 2018.[3]
Strobel regards wood as a kind of relic, as a material that retains traces of the artistic process and serves as a physical reminder of intervention in nature or image consumption.[3]
Art historian Tanja Zocher wrote that Strobel has adapted the traditional woodcut medium through laser technology, resulting in a high degree of detail and scale in the prints.[4]
