Kerntke was born 1955 in Germany. Since generations many relatives have been involved in art before (graphic illustrator, actor, ballet dancer, costume designer). Specially his beloved grandfather, who once was an impressionistic painter impressed him in his early youth. So besides his later bread and butter job as geologist he continued this inherited talent and perfected it autodidactically. He investigated the techniques of modern artist by copying their style and finally created his own.
Furthermore he became deeply stimulated by lot of his travels and long term stays in places like Borneo, Malawi, Nepal, Northern Africa, Papua Newguinea, Philippines, Spain and Sumatra. Besides his professional duties as scientist and fieldgeologist he could deeply absorb the beauty of our planet, mostly well documented with a camera. Also some offshore experiences on research vessels during the past years broaden his insider views. Often his family followed him for visits and so he might gave his daughter an inspiring basis for her own art affin career in Munich while her parents remained based in Hamburg. Kerntke values his home and city atelier which is, even so located within a protected landscape surrounded by forest, ponds and moor. For him a perfect atmosphere to become one with the nature through his art. A nature which is worth to be preserved.
