ARTIST STATEMENT
Modern abstract paintings
As an artist I am fascinated by the beauty and power of nature: I draw my inspiration from it. Nature is an endless source of inspiration for me, which I try to capture in every single one of my artworks. I am fascinated by the patterns and colors that can be found in nature and I love to implement this into my art.
Nature offers an infinite variety of colors, shapes and structures that continually inspire me.
Kirsten Schankweiler
In my works, I try to capture the beauty and richness of nature, as well as its impermanence and constant change. I use colors from a natural color spectrum to represent the connection to nature in my art. I believe that using these colors brings a deeper meaning to my paintings. My works aim to create a deep connection to nature and encourage the viewer to experience the beauty and power of nature anew. I hope that my works inspire people to see nature from a different perspective, to appreciate and protect its beauty.
My artistic process is a constant process of experiments. I am always looking for new techniques and materials to expand my artistic expression, discover new possibilities and grow as an artist. I believe that constant experiments and their challenges are an important part of my artistic journey.
My goal as an artist is to establish a connection with the viewer and to enable them the opportunity to create their own story from my artworks. I want my art to evoke emotions and encourage reflection.
I am convinced that art can create a strong connection between people and nature.
Kirsten Schankweiler
Nature has a strong impact on humans and positively influences their physical and emotional health. The natural environment offers a rich variety of colors, scents and sounds that help reduce stress and improve well-being. It has been scientifically proven that spending time in nature has a positive effect on physical and mental health and that regular contact with nature plays an important role in promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Therefore, I also want to raise awareness of the protection and preservation of our natural resources with my work. I am grateful for the opportunity to express my relationship with nature through my art and look forward to growing and learning as an artist. My love for nature will always be a part of me, and I hope that my works will help others experience this beauty as well.
