Wollen wir uns kennenlernen?

Ich freu mich schon aufs Offene Atelier zusammen mit Björn und Piet und weiteren Männern mit Bärten 😃 Meine Sehnsucht nach dem Meer und der Nordsee sind Thema der diesjährigen Ausstellung. Es gibt viel Neues zu entdecken. Ich bin an allen drei Tagen für Euch da: 15.-17.09.2023 Termine und Details auf meiner Website unter Aktuelles! #offeneateliersköln #offeneateliers #studiovisit #atelierbesuch #künstlergespräch #meettheartist #inthestudio #wip #expressivepainting #expressiveart #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #portraitpainting #oilpainting #mixedmediaart #acrylicpainting #portraitmalerei #disruptiveart #disruptivepainting #studiolife #artiststudio #painterslife #womanartist

After Work Art Schnack - entspannte Atmosphäre und sneak peak auf das Thema des Offenen Ateliers vom 15.-17.09.23. Mit ein bisschen was Leckerem zum Schnabulieren kommt man so auf Dies und Das… vielen Dank für Euren Besuch! Auch die speziellen Interessen konnten erfüllt werden und so sieht es aus, wenn jemand die Tier Portraits mag… „die Schafe zaubern mir alle ein Lächeln ins Gesicht“ sagt Annette. So soll es sein! Was gibt es Schöneres als wenn Kunst die Stimmung hebt? Ein extra Dank geht ans Team der @piemonteca für die Gaumenfreuden und @simonelux_ für das schöne Arrangement. #labordermalerin #offenesatelier #kunstgenuss #atelierbesuch #schaf #elch #hirsch #seemann #portraitmalerei #mixedmediapainting #ölgemälde #oilpainting #acrylicpainting #kunstmitfreunden #afterworkevent #chillout

Abends gibt es eine herrliche Sommerstimmung im und vorm Atelier. Zusammenräumen, Pinsel waschen, Tagwerk begutachten… mache ich gern mit Dir gemeinsam! Ganz entspannt bei einem kühlen Getränk. Komm vorbei zum ersten After Work Art Schnack am 03.08.2023 ab 18:00. Ich freu mich auf Dich!

Heute ist der perfekte Tag zum Malen: nicht zu heiss, nicht zu sonnig und Sonntag - schön ruhig und keine Ablenkung. Auch wenn ich häufig sehr intuitiv mit Farbe umgehe, hab ich heute mal zum Farbkreis gegriffen, um die Harmonien abzustimmen: manchmal hilfreich 🤓 #farbharmonie #farbkarte #farbkreis #farbtheorie #farbenliebe #colorlove #colorharmony #colortheory #paintingday #dayinthestudio #harmonie #liebewasichtue #8paintinfinitearts #learningtosee #connectedartistsclub

Der Sommer geht ja rum wie nix. Da kann man schon mal Pläne für den September machen. Es finden wieder die Offenen Ateliers in Köln statt und ich bin dabei! Vom 15. bis 17. September 2023 zeige ich neue Arbeiten in meinem "Labor der Malerin". Save the date. Neben Piet gibt es weitere neue Werke - darüber werde ich in Kürze berichten. Auf alle Fälle halte ich dich auf dem Laufenden, wenn du meinen Newsletter abonnierst. #newsletter #offenesatelier

Am 6. Juli ist der Internationale Tag des Kusses. Just do it!! kisskisskiss Um das zu feiern, hab ich mir was ganz besonderes überlegt. Stay tuned und schau am 6.7. noch mal rein in die Stories 🧐 #tagdeskusses #kissesday #kissesforyou #sweetkisses #experimentaldrawing #drawing #zeichnung #sketch #quicksketch #esquisse #croquis #kuessenkannmannichtalleine #pheromoneshower #pheromone #labordermalerin #sketchoftheday #21aweek #kisskiss

Lust auf Sommerfarben! Ich habe ein paar alte Hintergründe hervor geholt - die Motive waren schon lange gewählt aber heute hatte ich auch richtig Lust auf die „süßen“ Farben. Doch: erst die Arbeit, dann das Vergnügen. Ich wollte mit einer sauberen Palette starten. Da hieß es kratzen und schieben. Nächstes Mal lieber solange die Farbe noch feucht ist! 😝 Ein kluger Mann hat einmal gesagt Kunst ist wenig Inspiration und viel Transpiration (die %-Zahlen variieren da und die Urheber auch). Wahlweise wird es auch bezogen auf Kreativität, Erfolg und so weiter. Wie es grad gebraucht wird… #inspiration #transpiration #preparation #inthestudio #workplace #arbeitsplatzvorbereitung #summervibes #sommerfarben #summercolours #colourlove #farbenliebe

Deutscher Text: bitte mal Übersetzer probieren, soll ganz gut sein. danke 😇 I am having a dialogue with this lady for quite a while now. Sometimes I feel I make no progress at all, why I thought at least I share my "faces" with you. Most of the time I am learning. Here you still see me at ease but when you swipe you'll see me critical, wondering whether I may bring this forward, ever. At least I know that the struggle pieces in the end were some of the most important to me and quite memorable. So I keep going to in the end look like no.3 or even happier. You feel you are treading waters, sometimes? Just get going. How do you tackle this challenge? #wip #thestruggleisreal #learningfrommistakes #keepgoing #showup #krönchenrichten #connectedartistclub #learningtosee #weitergehts #ausfehlernlernen #workinprogress

"Der Rote" - die Form in diesem Bild hat mich an einen Riesenkraken denken lassen und so ist das Bild zu seinem Titel „Der Rote“ gekommen, dem gleichnamigen Roman, der mich einmal sehr gefesselt hat. Eigentlich sollte aus dem Bild ursprünglich mal was ganz anderes werden... Was das also mit Korallen und lustvollem Scheitern zu tun hat kannst du in meinem Blog hier lesen: www.Labor-der-Malerin.de/Blog/lustvoll-scheitern #geliebtenordsee #inspirationmeer #nordseeliebe #noordholland #nordsee #norddeutschland #ostfriesland #farbenliebe #justthesea #kopffreiammeer #urlaubammeer #immerwiederschön #nordlicht #muschelschubser

Pipe smokers-smoking the pipe of peace? I am working on some men with beards right now when I just realised that they also all are smoking a pipe. Is it a coincidence? Maybe you can tell when you see them all. Meanwhile let’s think of a pipe of peace and where in the world we should get back to this ritual and acknowledge that we are all in this together. #rituals #pipeofpeace #peacetotheworld #peacetothepeople #pipesmoker #pipesmoking #pfeife #peifenraucher #menwithbeards #männermitbärten #geliebtenordsee #labordermalerin #farbenliebe #colourlove

Manchmal muss es einfach wild sein. Es gibt diese Tage, wo ich einfach nicht die Muße habe, konzentriert an Details zu arbeiten. Oft genug hab ich es trotzdem versaut. Wenn ich es rechtzeitig merke, nehme ich eine neue Leinwand (oder mehrere) und tobe mich aus. Das einzige was hier geplant war, waren grob die Farben, aber irgendwie kommt es dann doch oft anders als gedacht. Dazu habe ich auch gerade einen Blogartikel geschrieben - wie die Intuition immer gewinnt (und sowieso Recht hat), wenn man sie lässt.... link im Kommentar. Wie ist das bei Euch? Schafft Ihr immer, auf Eure Intuition zu vertrauen und der Wildheit freien Lauf zu lassen? #wildsein #wip #intuition #intuitiongewinnt #farbenliebe #acrylmalerei #schablone #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #spraypaint #acrylicpainting #borntobewild #followyourheart #followyourintuition #trusttheprocess #pattern #muster #wallpaperdesign #stencil #paynesgrey #favouritecolour #aquacolours

Inspirationen von der Art Karlsruhe 2023. Auch wenn es schon ein paar Tage her ist: sie wirken nach! Was mich besonders begeistert hat waren die persönlichen Kontakte und darüber habe ich einen Blog Beitrag geschrieben. Ich kann nur jeden ermutigen, mit Künstlerinnen und Künstlern das Gespräch zu suchen und natürlich auch mit Galeristinnen und Galeristen. Du findest meinen Blogartikel auf meiner Website (siehe Profil). Ein Bericht über meine Gespräche folgt, bleib gespannt und abonniere meinen Newsletter - ebenfalls dort.

This is Piet. He kind of follows in the footsteps of Onno, roughly 5 years later. They have some things in common and are yet so different. Do you also look back and analyse different phases, results, influences and try to grasp consistency and progress in your work? Both are 100x100 cm mixed media on canvas and while Onno has long found a beautiful home Piet is still available.

👇for english version Den Kerl kenn ich schon. Ich habe ihn für einen wilden Hintergrund reaktiviert und als Vorlage verwendet. Die anderen Bilder zeigen Zwischenstände und das erste Bild von "Smutje". Ich spiele gerade mit Hintergründen und deren Integration mit Gesichtern. In dem Fall war es mir zu krass, jetzt ist es harmonischer. Dennoch gab es ein früheres Stadium, in dem ich hätte aufhören können... Nicht, dass ich es bereue. Es ist eine spannende Lernphase. Kennst du diese Erfahrung und wie gehst du damit um? This guy was also familiar to me and got reactivated on a wildly structured playground. Swipe to see some work in progress images and the former painting. I am figuring out, how to integrate the background and create some harmony. Although, colour wise it looks much more harmonious now I think I may have stopped earlier... It's not that I regret. It's just an interesting learning phase. Do you know this feeling and what do you do about it? #mannmitbart #sailor #mariner #seemann #manwithbeard #connectedartistclub #wip #geliebtenordsee #manbythesea #matrose #mixedmediaartist #mixedmediaart #acrylicandoil #acrylicandoilpainting #portraitpainting #portraitofaman

Björn - the first version of a reference which I started to like a lot. So I came back to it with other colours. Check out the feed for comparison with the other paintings to see the difference - you may be surprised... Which one is your favorite? #seemann #seaman #sailor #mariner #pipesmoker #pfeifenraucher #pfeife #manwithbeard #mannmitbart

The collection of Björn versions. See the feed for stills to compare. #mariner #pipesmoker #sailor #seaman #manwithbeard #seemann #pfeifenraucher #pfeife #moewe #seagull #geliebtenordsee #bythesea #mannmitbart #bartträger #beard

May I introduce: this is Björn. To be honest it's Björn III, I have used the reference before and feel attached to it. This time I made two variations on it in darker tones. This one has a bit more orange and more "glow" and the pattern shows through much better. So this is the playful Björn compared to Björn II which I showed the other day. Gestatten, Björn III. Mir gefällt die Vorlage, deshalb bleib ich noch ein bisschen dabei. Ich habe dieses Mal zwei Varianten in dunklen Tönen gemalt, dies mit etwas mehr orange und "leuchten" und das Muster scheint schön durch. Dies ist der verspieltere der zwei, den anderen findest du im feed. #seagull #mariner #seaman #sailor #pipesmoker #disruptedart #pattern #zwiebelmuster #seemann #pfeife #geliebtenordsee #möwe #seascene

Here you go, Björn II. One of two new parallel works. That allows fast learning. How do you like the expression? What may he been thinking? I find he is looking like someone not using too many words but with a rich inner life... Hier ist Björn II. Einer von zwei neuen die parallel entstanden sind. Das erlaubt schnelles Lernen. Wie gefällt dir der Ausdruck? Was denkt er wohl der Denker? Ich finde er sieht aus wie jemand der nicht viele Worte macht aber ein reiches Innenleben hat... #seaman #sailor #mariner #pipesmoker #redbeard #manwithbeard #männermitbärten #seemann #pfeifenraucher #pfeife #muster #zwiebelmuster #geliebtenordsee

"The flower of life" Mixed Media 80x80 cm This is a piece that doesn't "quite fit in"... in the way that the topic doesn't really find its way into my paintings. I do practice and appreciate yoga and know a bit about the philosophy. I admire the peace and love that people routed deeply inside are spreading. And I believe it's more than desirable to achieve a state of peace of mind. I also find that some buddha statues resonate with me, especially the original ones in Asia of course, not so much the mass produced decorative pieces. ;-) So none of the attributes can be found in my home. This painting emerged from experiments I was doing with material, namely rust and patina in this case. The choice of subject was rather a coincidence and what it has in common with my work is that it still shows a face. So I wonder: what do we project on this image? I decided to look at it as I do with my portraits and search for a certain expression. After all: faces are the most interesting to look at. And unique - same as this painting ;-) What do you think? #stencil #wallstencil #experiment #expressiveartist #buddha #peaceofmind #mentalbalance #resonance #mixedmediapainting #mixedmediaart #contemporaryartist #floweroflife #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #labordermalerin #homedecoration #yogilifestyle #yogastudio #peaceofmind #peaceofmindpeacefullife with special regards to @claudiagehrlein @magichillretreatcenter @goyoga.cologne: feel free to share :-)

🇩🇪👇 Wilma and Walt - those were the names of the moose in the park where I long lived until about 12 years ago. Since I lived a year in Stockholm even much longer ago (22 years... oh oh) I have a special crunch on moose. I still have a favor for a lot of Swedish things and very fond memory of the time. This painting has seen many stages and grew over years until finding it's final form. If I manage to find out how to put the stages in a movie format, technicall, I will share with you. Am grateful for tips here! :-) For the time being it remains a rather singular piece when it comes to colour, only accompanied by a deer I made some years ago. --- Wilma und Walt - das waren die Elche im Tierpark des Ortes wo ich lange lebte bis vor 12 Jahren. Seit ich ein Jahr in Stockholm verbracht habe (das ist sogar schon 22 Jahre her... ups), habe ich eine Schwäche für Elche. Ich habe immer noch eine Vorliebe für alles mögliche Schwedische und tolle Erinnerungen an die Zeit. Dieses bild ist durch viele Stadien gegangen und über Jahre gewachsen. Falls ich herausfinde, wie ich aus den Aufnahmen einen kleinen Entstehungsfilm mache, teile ich ihn. Für Tips wie das technisch geht wäre ich dankbar ;-) Bis auf Weiteres bleibt das ein eher einzigartiges Bild, wenn man die Farbwahl betrachtet, lediglich passend zu einem Hirsch von vor ein paar Jahren. #moosepainting #moose #mixedmediapainting #oilpainting #figurativeart #elche #elchbild

New material- new beginnings - perfect Easter weekend in my laboratory 🥼 🧪 🖌️

Deutscher Text unten 👇 Speaking about winter the other day... Now, I am really off to spring and chaging my palette to bright and colourful. At least that's the idea... but when do we stick to our plans 🤣🤣 Do you also belong to those people who's painting develop their own idea? Planning anything is really pretty useless for me, I start with an idea or one or two colours and then it has a life of its own, at least as long as I follow my intuition. And that's really the best part! When I switch on the brain to edit and refine it doesn't always get better... This painting has been sitting around for years and I was never satisfied. Even now that I decided to declare it done, I feel a prickling urge to go in with bright orange and a pattern. But I won't. At least for the time being... What do you think? Und ich sprach noch über Winter die Tage... Jetzt bin ich aber wirklich im Frühlingsmodus und wechsle zu hellen lebendigen Farben. Zumindest ist das die Idee... aber seit wann halten wir unsere Pläne ein 🤣🤣 Gehörst du auch zu den Malern, deren Bilder ihre eigene Idee entwickeln? Irgendwas zu planen ist wirklich sinnlos für mich; ich starte mit einer Idee und ein oder zwei Farben und dann entwickelt das Bild seine eigene Dynamik, zumindest solange ich meiner Intuition folge. Und das ist echt der beste Teil! Wenn ich das Nachdenken einschalte zum überarbeiten wird es nicht immer unbedingt besser... Dieses Bild ist seit Jahren unvollendet und ich war nie zufrieden. Selbst jetzt fühle ich einen Drang, mit orange und einem Muster drüber zu gehen. Aber mach ich nicht. Zumindest fürs Erste... Was denkst du? #wolfordog #animaloilpainting #artistlife #paintingprocess #creativeprocess #creativeprocesss #connectedartistclub #learningtosee

Deutscher Text unten 👇 A few days ago I was in winterwonderland heaven. So this is me in perfect company with wonderful friends, enjoying live, relaxing and recharging. Happy, enjoying the moment. I usually really don't like being photographed and even more so to see pictures of myself. But my friend captured me well with this peaceful and happy expression.

Und da Ausdruck das ist wonach ich hauptsächlich strebe in meiner Malerei, mache ich einen großen Schritt und teile dies mit Euch. Malen ist wirklich mein happy place.

Deutscher Text unten 👇 Have you ever tried to imitate your style from 5 years ago?? I had this group of sheep paintings and had kept one with the abstract background only. Now I found it rather boring and thought 'why not paint another sheep on top'? Swipe to see what came out. I realised that my brushstroke and use of colour has changed quite a bit. So I resumed with trying to make it "fit" somehow without imitating my former self. Not sure if it's done though. However, I still like the older ones - they look quite fresh to me, still. Have you ever had a similar experience you want to share? Which sheep do you like best? Hast du je versuchst, deinen eigenen Stil von vor 5 Jahren zu imitieren?? Ich hatte diese Bildgruppe und eins behalten mit rein abstraktem Motiv als Ergänzung. Nun fand ich es langweilig und dachte mir 'warum nicht noch ein Schaf drauf malen'? Wische um das Ergebnis zu sehen. Ich stelle fest: mein Pinselstrich und der Einsatz von Farbe haben sich sehr geändert. Also habe ich versucht, es nur irgendwie "passend" zu machen, ohne mein früheres Selbst zu imitieren. Bin nicht sicher, ob es fertig ist....Trotzem: ich mag immer noch die älteren - sie sehen noch recht frisch aus, finde ich. Hast du je eine ähnliche Erfahrung gemacht, die du teilen magst? Welches Schaf gefällt dir am Besten? #happysheep #sheeppainting #moveon #evolve #development #colourlove #learningtosee #connectedartistclub #springmood

(Deutscher Text unter dem Englischen) Springtime - feeling like a kick-off without exactly knowing the direction yet. Exciting. I am close to finishing a major clear-out, sorting, cleaning, stripping down and are also feeling lighter in my mind. Anything new is invited and allowed to take space. The sheep probably also doesn't understand what's going on: sun - rain - snow - warmth changing in a frenetic weather-dance from one hour to the other. Springtime may come now. And with that comes fresher colours on my palette. What's your take on beginning of spring? What are you up to next? Detail from diptych, 2x 30x40, oilpainting on canvas, swipe to scroll over from left to right Frühlingsanfang - es fühlt sich an wie ein kick-off, allerdings weiss ich noch nicht genau wozu. Spannend. Ich bin in den letzten Zügen von Sortieren, Ausmisten, Aufräumen und bekomme damit auch den Kopf freier. Neues darf einziehen und sich breit machen. Die Schafe hier wissen vielleicht auch noch nicht so recht wie ihnen geschieht: Sonne - Regen - Schnee und Wärme wechseln in einem frenetischen Wetter-Tanz von Stunde zu Stunde. Für mich darf der Frühling gern kommen. Damit ziehen auch wieder frischere Farben auf meiner Palette ein. Was bedeutet für dich der Frühlingsanfang? Was kommt als nächstes?

"Wenn Humor und Melancholie das Antlitz prägen - Ein Portrait zum 30. Todestag von Audrey Hepburn" Normalerweise male ich keine berühmten Persönlichkeiten. Bei meiner Motivsuche schaue ich nach Charakter-Köpfen oder denke mir eine Geschichte zum Portrait. Aus aktuellem Anlass habe ich mehr über Audrey Hepburn recherchiert und Lust bekommen, sie zu malen. Lies hier, welche Gedanken mir dabei kamen: https://www.labor-der-malerin.de/blog/audrey-hepburn-portrait-zum-todestag Die Farbe ist noch feucht... 😉 I don't paint celebrities, normally. Just pretty is usually not enough and I am looking for characters, interesting faces that tell a story, or I make up one by myself. Today is the 30th anniversary of Audrey Hepburns death and so I looked deeper into her story. That make we want to paint her and I chose the Audrey in her sixties. I wrote a blog about this, so when you can read German, check it out. Or ask me here, what you want to know. Oil/mixed media on canvas, 18*24 cm, for sale upon DM. ...the oil is still wet... 😉 swipe to see a digitally remake of the picture with dramatic lighting... #audreyhepburn #grace #dignity #todestag #inwürdealtern #immerschönerimalter #schönheitvoninnen #stilikone #styleicon #beautifulwoman #frühstückbeitiffany #breakfastattiffany #gregorypeck #moonriver #portraitpainting #portraitmalerei #oilpainting #connectedartistclub #labordermalerin #celebrity #actress #goddess #portrait #mixedmedia #figurativeartist

Dear Friends and Art lovers, a turbulent year is coming to an end and I slowed way down the past weeks and resumed what has happend, all the ups and downs and what I experienced and created. Most of all I have indulged myself in the moments I spent with friends - in real or in the virtual world. I feel the connection growing and want to express my gratitude for your continuous support and appreciation. Thank you for your comments and likes, thank you for your inspirations and beautiful impressions, thank you for being here with me. I am looking forward to a creative year 2023. It will be quite different from this year in that my focus shifts and I am exited to get into my studio more. I have plenty of projects in mind, want to exhibit and show my work and my website is being reworked right now. I'd be happy if you share any wishes you might have: what would you like to see more of? What does interest you? Please let me know in the comments. Now, take care and all the best for you and your beloved ones in 2023. Stay well and take a bold step into what you love and want more of in your life. See you there! Claudia #newyear #happynewyear #bestwishes #makeawish #thankyou #danke #merci #tack #gracias #labordermalerin #offto2023

Here is the other half of the horizontal crane painting. The inspiration for the crane study taking off came from a water colour piece running over the length of a complete wall in an exhibition in Denmark some years ago. Unfortunately I don’t remember the artist but it was really impressive. Especially since I don’t have the patience for watercolour. The birds’ details were so delicate and the rest of the paper pure white and clean. Awesome. My painting is 50x100 oil on canvas. #enjoytheprocess #crane #liberty #cranesfly #cranespotting #birdwatching #birdmigration #beautifulbirds #northsea #geliebtenordsee #spiritofhtesea #mixedmediapainting #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #findingmyfreedom #freedominpainting #enjoyingthemoment #colourlove #labordermalerin #kranich #nordseeliebe #liebedasmeer

… I wanted to go for pink all in but actually decided to stay in the more ‚decent’ realm. That’s all relative of course 😂 This old boring thing from 2018 now got an upgrade with a Frisian touch. Showing one part … please check out the other part tomorrow. 😇 Doing grids is the only way to show horizontal pieces. Stay tuned and follow.

This may be a bit boring, no? Or you get to notice more easily the technical schematics I included in some lower layers here? In case you did not notice by now - this is the third painting in a row and part of a grid. I am trying to design my feed for you. I have no idea if that is a good idea or not, but as you know: I like experiments. Does this motivate you to check out my feed (and maybe find more images that you may have not seen so far)? Please let me know what you think. Then I may continue with my crane-stories, because I havn't you told all of them yet. #enjoytheprocess #crane #liberty #cranesfly #cranespotting #birdwatching #birdmigration #beautifulbirds #northsea #geliebtenordsee #spiritofhtesea #mixedmediapainting #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #findingmyfreedom #freedominpainting #enjoyingthemoment #colourlove #labordermalerin #experiment

More of my currently favourite colour scheme. Actually here you can see that beneath a few layers there is an embedded schematic of a wing of a crane. I have a kind of a crush for technical drawings, you know 🙃 This may be due to the fact that I spend a lot of time with engineers in my life, ever since... Would you like to see more of that in my paintings? #enjoytheprocess #crane #liberty #cranesfly #cranespotting #birdwatching #birdmigration #beautifulbirds #northsea #geliebtenordsee #spiritofhtesea #mixedmediapainting #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #findingmyfreedom #freedominpainting #enjoyingthemoment #colourlove #labordermalerin

Since I spent a weekend at the beloved North Sea three weeks ago I am in this turquoise-greyish mood of 'autumn at the sea' in combination with some very bright and juicy green of the dike, which had been freshly mowed. It was also bird migration season. Or was it already over? Anyway, this is a theme that really fascinates me, as well as the majestic cranes. More about my crane fascination to come. Do you associate any specific stories with them? Please let me know and share your thoughts. #enjoytheprocess #crane #liberty #cranesfly #cranespotting #birdwatching #birdmigration #beautifulbirds #northsea #geliebtenordsee #spiritofhtesea #mixedmediapainting #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #findingmyfreedom #freedominpainting #enjoyingthemoment #colourlove #labordermalerin

Not sure how much pink this can stand, getting to it slowly and enjoying every brush stroke - loving the buttery feeling of the paint and being present in the moment. #enjoytheprocess #crane #liberty #cranesfly #cranespotting #oilpainting #freedominpainting #enjoyingthemoment #colourlove #beautifulbirds #labordermalerin

With fresh memories from the North Sea I am doing some crane studies - an occasion to get back to older work. This piece was inspired by a show called “fugl”=birds. I was in Denmark doing portrait and figure drawing then. We had a free day and there was not much else to do so we went without any expectation or enthusiasm. And then: bang! The experience was so memorable. And still is. This is in reference to “the feast” by @michaelkvium. Stay tuned to see where this may go. A bit more about cranes and what they mean to me in the coming days.

Welcome to a cosy setup of my ladies in the beautiful Piemonteca ambience and enjoy the most delicious food with excellent choice of accompanying wine selection. @bergischegenusstage

Studio mood today - I love the texture and colours. Helas, a lot will disappear again beneath the subject soon… have a lovely and colourful Sunday Friends!

„Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder“ - that becomes so obvious when you get the chance to speak with others about art, especially your own art. And people also see different things, have their own associations and make up their individual story about a painting. And still they want to hear yours. I still often wonder whether to give speaking titles, abstract or non and haven’t found the answer yet. But I can say that my open studio event was a wonderful experience with so many friends and acquaintances coming around and staying for a drink or two… Thanks for coming friends! @oborgmeier @claudia.meeee @claudiagehrlein @larsgehrlein @siv_moments @piemonteca @simonelux_ #labordermalerin #expressiveportrait #mixedmediaartist #connectedartistsclub #lts2021 #learningtosee

... haha this is a planned post going wrong 😂 I meant to show a picture of a painting that was nearly finished and had planned the post in advance (yeah! useful function sometimes). But then life had other plans with me and I missed coming back to it before it was scheduled. Nevermind, because reach was not that bad after all even though there is really no logic about it, meaning no match between the logo and the text. Who understands Instagram and the algorithms??? #lifestriking #otherplans #life #failurequotes #mistakeshappen " xxx" Mixed Media 80x80 cm This is a piece that doesn't "quite fit in"... in the way that the topic doesn't really find its way into my paintings. I do practice and appreciate yoga and know a bit about the philosophy. I admire the peace and love that people routed deeply inside are spreading. And I believe it's more than desirable to achieve a state of peace of mind. I also find that some buddha statues resonate with me, especially the original ones in Asia of course, not so much the mass produced decorative pieces. ;-) So none of the attributes can be found in my home. This painting emerged from experiments I was doing with material, namely rust and patina in this case. The choice of subject was rather a coincidence and what it has in common with my work is that it still shows a face. So I wonder what do we project on this image? I decided to look at it as I do with my portraits and search for a certain expression. After all: faces are the most interesting to look at. And unique - same as this painting ;-) What do you think? #stencil #wallstencil #experiment #expressiveartist #buddha #peaceofmind #mentalbalance #resonance #mixedmediapainting #mixedmediaart #contemporaryartist #floweroflife #acrylicpainting #oilpainting #labordermalerin #homedecoration

This is the exeption from the rule. It is a mixed media work on water colour paper. A4 size. Usually I like to work on canvas. I've tried boards too and they allow some stuff which doesn't work well on canvas, at least on stretched canvas, but somehow they seem to be my goto for most of the time. During the pandemic I worked at home on the living room table - the walls actually got repainted a few weeks ago ;-)... Working at home limited the size of the playground somehow and also the materials I had available and was allowing myself to make a mess with... Although this is a singular piece, I like it and I may come back to this approach in the future. It's not easy to see but it has some thick ink on it and the contrast with the luminous and transparent parts is what I like a lot. What do you like about it? #mixedmediaart #disruptedrealism #workonpaper #portraitpainting #sketch #ink #skizze #layering #labordermalerin #connctedartistsclub #smallart #artforyourwall #artforhomes

She is really a favorite of mine and she lived with me in my home office for the past two years. Now I have decided to show her off. It is truly a mixed media piece and contains a lot of different materials in layers. And it was pretty abstract and not really following a plan just colour love, experimenting with the flow of water and ink, coffee and then stone powder before a face emerged. To see some process pictures swipe left. Mixed media on canvas 50x50 cm. Do you develop a relationship to the paintings in your home? Which kind of?

Die Vorbereitungen für die Offenen Ateliers und meine Ausstellung "RESONANZ" laufen auf Hochtouren! Ich zeige expressive Mixed Media Portraits und auch ein paar neue Bienen (siehe vorheriger Beitrag) und meine fertig gestellte kleine "Füsse Serie" exklusiv vorab - wer noch vorher schon die Geschichte dazu lesen möchte, kann meinen Newsletter abonnieren ;-) (link in bio über meine Homepage) Ich freue mich auf Sie und Euch am 10.09. von 10-16h und am 11.09. von 12-16h in 51491 Overath, Olper Straße 69A! Herzlich willkommen! #offeneatelierskoen2022 #openstudio #openhouse #kunstausstellung #labordermalerin #expressiveart #mixedmediaartist #welcome

english text for my international friends see below; swipe left to see more Es begann mit einem großen Bild zum Thema Bienensterben (welches noch nicht ganz fertig ist...). Und dann malte ich eine kleine Biene... und noch eine... mittlerweile sind mehrere im kleinen Format (20x20) entstanden und nicht alle sind tot! Bienen sind wunderschöne und faszinierende Insekten. Langsam ziehen mehr und mehr Tiere auf meine Leinwände und auch das Thema Artensterben im Kontext mit Klimawandel findet Einzug in meine Malerei. Dadurch merke ich wie meine Kunst durch mein Leben immer mehr beeinflusst wird - und auch umgekehrt, doch dazu später mal mehr. Die Bienen werden auch erhältlich sein in meinem Offenen Atelier am 10. und 11.09. in Overath, mehr Infos auf der Website, link in der Bio. Aber natürlich auch direkt. Bei Interesse bitte eine PM schicken. It started with a large painting about bees dieing (wich is still work in progress...). And then I painted a small one... and anoter one... meanwhile several small format bees developed (20x20 cm) and not all are dead! They are beautiful and fascinating insects. Slowly but surely more and more animals populate my paintings and species extinction in the context of climate change finds its way into my art. Thereby, I realize how my life more and more informs my art - and vice versa, but more about that some time later. #bee #insect #mixedmediaart #oilpainting #smallformatpainting #affordableart #artforyourwalls #artforyourhome #contemporaryartist #pink #colourlover #labordermalerin #experiment #mixedmediaoncanvas #climatechange #speciesconservation #artenschutz #klimawandel #biene

I had a beautiful visitor in my studio today: a peacock butterfly (swipe to see). Maybe he or she was looking out for brothers and sisters, the monarch butterflies on this painting "Liberta II" (80x80cm Mixed Media on deep canvas). This is part of a diptych I painted last year in Puglia during some hot summer days experimenting with rust and patina. Watch out for part I coming soon.

Indulgence Mixed Media on paper, 30x40cm Yesterday I shared a „cool“ portrait of a face which screens „warm“. I started to question why it felt odd to me and figured out where and how in my portraits colour temperature and emotion support or contradict each other. What do you think about that question in this painting? I will dig deeper into this because it really captures me and can become a powerful tool, I believe. Stay tuned, connect, sign up… I have a newsletter (in German) which informs about my work, progress and upcoming events like open studios in Cologne in September. #mixedmedia #ink #tusche #acrylics #figurativeartist #expressiveart #portrait #faces #emotions #portraitpainting #connectedartistclub #contemporaryart #acrylicpainting #acrylmalerei #layerbylayer #abstractart #enjoytheprocess #labordermalerin #colourlover

Isn’t she a beauty? I feel like the cool colours make a strong contrast to the mood. Thus I am not sure if this „works“. When starting I didn’t really know where I was going - it was an experiment, as usual. I had a vivid playground with saturated colours and was adding and covering up…subtracting was not really an option here 🤷‍♀️ I may well tackle her again because I very much like the expression on her face. What do you think is she feeling? Swipe for a drawing and the b/w image. #mixedmedia #ink #tusche #acrylics #figurativeartist #expressiveart #portrait #faces #connectedartistclub #contemporaryart #acrylicpainting #ink #layerbylayer #abstractart

There is nothing more interesting than faces. ‚Cynthia‘ Mixed Media on paper, study finally finished after starting it in the @8paint portrait workshop last autumn. It pushed me in a way that I followed instructions but without using the same material and then diverting from the course, simply because I didn’t make it in time.. still learning a lot, especially die to the dramatic lighting. But I still don’t have any quinicradone purple on my palette 😉 A shoutout to Gabriel Mark Lipper (yes, learning is not linear!) and my fellows @tonnaholtz_art, @mayklisch, @tamikobraun.art and everybody doing the assignment this year. Have fun! #portraitdrawing #mixedmediaart #portrait #acrylicpainting #acrylicportrait #ink #lts2021 #labordermalerin

Editing… #wip… calling this done now - what a ride!

Having read about the origins of Easter and it’s various traditions I somehow had associations when looking at this today. So I thought it might be a good day to share it with you and find out what kind of resonance it creates with you. Please let me know. I wish you all a happy holiday and relaxing time to recharge. Hugs ‚n kisses my friends 😘 #mixedmediaart #portrait #painting #oilpainting #portraitpainting #resonance #labordermalerin #connectedartistclub

Studiomood. After a long absence back to painting. I am giving finishing touches to some nearly done works. Some are still in the middle stage. But it feels good to kind of closing a few projects and clear the space and mind of too much work in progress. I am really looking forward to a break from work over Easter and spend time in my laboratory … and hopefully in nature if the weather allows for it. #labordermalerin #wip #studiomood #inthelab #finishingtouches

…such a Perfect day… spent with quick sketching, loosening up and experimenting. @stephangeislerseminare #portraitsketch #stephangeislerseminare #pencilsketching #labordermalerin

Another painting in my 🦶 feet series. Would you categorise this as #disruptedrealism? What qualifies for this label? Anyway, I love working with dynamic backgrounds or #playgrounds as @8paint calls them. Integrating a figurative subject is an always challenging process. #feetpainting #oilpainting #figurativeartist #expressivepainting #enjoythejourney #lovingtheprocess #enjoytheprocess #colourlove #labordermalerin #connectedartistclub

What emotions does this piece evoke with you? I finished this piece today after another long absence from my laboratory. In fact, this is not what I had intended when planning my art journey this year - life is what happens when you are busy making plans (John Lennon) - once again! But it helped quite a bit with working with oils. Having had distance and coming back with fresh eyes today actually made it surprisingly easy and paint had dried so no risk of smearing. Another learning: black is so powerful! #sensuality #feet #feedpainting #oilpainting #figurativeartist #springtimefeelings #labordermalerin #connectedartistclub #workinginseries #smallsize #limitedpallette #paintitblack #playground

Here they are in full size. I thought I need to take another picture so you can see what was cut to square format yesterday. I am happy to have what it takes to paint in my new studio (or „laboratory“). But I have not taken care of what it takes to make pictures of my work… Enjoying painting on a rainy Sunday anyway! ☔️ 😊 #happyfeet #feetpainting #paintingfeet #newstudio #laboratory #labordermalerin #connectedartistclub #paintinginseries #learningtosee

Finally, back to painting after busy weeks more or less without. Would this make an interesting composition? Actually, it’s only the top half of it - the bottom half being far less busy. Even though I was tempted abstracting it a lot because the toes as shapes are interesting by themselves, I was trying to learn about colour with this one. As oil paint needs to dry inbetween layers the process gets slow. This can be helpful… or not. I will try to find out in the coming weeks which media to use for which purpose and how to reap the benefits of each in combination. #oilpainting #mixedmediaoncanvas #colourlover #contemplation #sensualfeet #labordermalerin #connectedartistclub

These guys came out of the sea 😆. And the found a new home next to the sea. With the excellent course by @8paint „learning to see“ I did last year I found confidence and freedom by getting the tools at hand to make the art I love. Following the lessons for 8weeks and the live Q&As and demos as well as the exchange with an honest and supporting community where you know each other was more I had hoped for. The course was fun and my progress made it easy to show up. My commitment took me to the next level. I normally don’t advertise but this recommendation comes from my heart. If you are interested you may still take the free workshop for another week. Sign up here: https://8paint.net/freeworkshop?l2s=22

So many aha moments ! Serendipity made me find Gabriel Lipper and his @8paint courses last year around this time. I joined the free workshop and immediately knew this was it. The perfect approach to mixing abstract with realism in my painting. Not only do I love his work but adore his capabilities and skills and his passion. This passion he also applied to teaching in well designed classes and demos. The learning to see course which followed the free workshop really changed my live last year. I highly recommend to join his free workshop and see for yourself: https://8paint.net/freeworkshop?l2s=22 It starts tonight - well here in Germany that is - at 19:30 with an introduction followed by a live chat and Q&A. You may still sign up and join me there. All videos will be available as well for some time. #serendipity #learningtosee #creativelife #artistsoninstagram #findyourownway #communityofartists #connectedartistclub

Figuring out my composition with thumbnails. Love how abstract it may become. Representational or abstract? I want both. I learned the skills AND developed the confidence to now do it on my own in Gabriel Lippers Learning to see course. If you want a sneak peak I highly recommend his free taster course starting on Saturday. That alone is a treasure trove for inspiration and information.

The little ones… these are about negative shapes right now. Enjoying the process. They are 20x20 cm and complement a few larger ones to give a little series in the end… that’s the plan at least 😎 I am revisiting the #learningtosee2021 course by @8paint on the go and really: learning is not linear 😉 #lts2021 #feetpainting #wip #oilpainting #figurativeartist #figurativepainting #paintinginseries #labordermalerin

Setting up new window decoration today. 😎 …and working on my feet 👣 paintings… #studiowindow #decoration #shopwindowdesign #wip

Next stages of my feet paintings 🦶 taking baby steps 👣 While working in oil it can easily get messy but I would like to rather get a facets look and hope to be able to keep some of the background and not completely smear over it. It forces me to go slow any think a lot and be patient with myself - quite a challenge where I‘d rather make bold expressive marks. Will have to rethink the media I use maybe. However: I like the buttery feel of the oil paint a lot. Whish it would be even a bit softer. Maybe in the summer it will be just right 😝 #weekendpainter #metime #escapetothestudio #mixedmediaartist #figurepainting #feetlover😍 #experimentalart #labordermalerin

New beginnings. I love them. Play. Colour. Movement. These are my new playgrounds. For feet paintings… whatever may come out of this. I am enjoying the process… anyway. Does anybody love paintings of feet? 🦶 🤣 I have kind of an idea where this may go but who knows. I identified really interesting abstract compositions in my drawings. So probably they will not be recognisable in the end. Or it becomes „portraits of feet“ …! Will try to apply all my learnings of@past courses, namely by @judywoods_artist and @8paint who taught me principles, analysing on the go and design, value and colour. Let’s see if that fell on fertile ground 🙃 Thank you anyways. I love what I do. ❤️‍🔥 #playground #colourlove #feetportrait #newbeginnings #studiolife #labordermalerin

First painting in 2022 and first finished in my new studio. I declare this done (at least for the time being) and put it up the wall in my studio. As there is no proper lighting yet I played around with in situ mock-ups. What do you think? Can you imagine this hanging in a home or an office? Where would it fit it? #insituartoomapp #insituartroom #newstudio #beginnings #abstractpainting #seascape #dynamicart #mixedmediaart #expressiveartist #labordermalerin

Slowly settling in to the new studio and looking forward to a creative weekend. Developing some ideas … I am really curious where this journey will take me. #newstudio #settlingin #studiopractice #drawing #sketching #21aweek #projectidea #figurativeartist #labordermalerin

Yeah. Finally… #gettingmyhandsdirtyagain This is my contribution to this weeks #kokomailart project with my dear colleagues and friends @designreiche und @birgitkh.textilkreativ From week to week it gets more challenging to add to other people’s art in our Co-creative process. Wonder if it will get easy again…?

First, thank you all who made 2021 special to me!!! I wish you all a happy healthy and successful 2022. When thinking that selecting the top nine of 2021 would be a good opportunity to review the year I realised: I don’t have them. 😂 And you know what: that was somewhat surprising and revealing. In fact I only really made four small paintings. 4. still the year felt productive like none before. It was a year of learning, experimenting, studying. I learned so much! A large part of my painting progress happened thanks to following up on the #fixandfinish course by @judywoods_artist in 2020 and the #learningtosee #lts2021 by @8paint. I started many new works. And probably not all will be finished. I finished quite a few from last year and some from the very past were completely reworked and used as a playground. Even as important was the exchange and learning from the community. I fostered artist friendships made online in 2020 and found new connected artists @alicesheridanstudio. And finally, in December I got a new place to be and paint and meet. I moved from the living room table and a half garage into this marvellous space and am now setting in. That’s why this became my selection of 2021. I am embracing the new year and look forward to what it may hold for me. I will be painting. And I will enjoy the journey. I‘d love you to join me on this exciting trip. 💃🏻🧑‍🎨🎈 #connectedartistclub #labordermalerin #expressiveartist #abstractmixedmedia #portraitpainting #geliebtenordsee

I couldn’t resist to get started with painting in my new studio - my laboratory. Although day lighting only is barely enough these grey and dull days it lights me up to play with colour. However, apparently saturated and bright have not made it onto the canvas yet 😆 What lights you up theses days? #intuitivepainting #structuredsurfaces #mixedmediaart #newstudio #abstractpainting #labordermalerin #connectedartistclub

I moved in to my new studio. Just before Christmas I managed to transport the paintings and I was surprised when piling them all up how much there was. Quite an amazing journey through the past eightish years and seeing from where I started and what has become of my work today. I feel quite happy about this step and am looking forward to taking my art to the next level: more time dedicated, more consistency, more experiments, more learnings, more exchange with art lovers. Who wants to join in and follow my journey, be part of it? #wip #workinprogress #newstudio #studiomove #studiosetup #creativespace #placetobe #lieblingsplatz #labordermalerin #connectedartistclub

What made me draw a tiger? Finally, I manage to share an impression of a collaborative project I embarked on in November - right at the time where my studio move was starting to happen. But hey, that's what life challenges us with. The Kokomailart project is a collaborative approach with 12 artists across Germany, a bit like hangman... we rotate our works every week and everybody adds to it and on it goes again. While the first rounds were pretty consistent and easily done with a "one type fits all approach", now we get very varied pieces challenging to consider how to approach it. Do I add or remove/cover anything? Is there colour to respond to? Which media shall I use? What do I have at hand (more of a specific logistic challenge to me right now...)? I really enjoy working on the project and it helds me responsible to show up, at least once a week to pay tribute to my fellow artist colleagues and challenge my creativity. It keeps me accountable. That's a way forward. Enjoy a lot working in my small subgroup with @designreiche und @birgitkh.textilkreativ #kokomailart #labordermalerin #choosingtools #responding #collaborativeart #sketching #drawing
