No brushes. Just blue and me again. Have a closer look at "REVELING IN BLUE #2", one of the latest!  My love for the material has always played an important role in my painting practice. That’s why this piece was created mostly with my hands, without using brushes or other tools (only used them in the later stages to round off the composition). Blue is the color of the sky and water, the source of life. In color psychology, blue stands for calm, trust and stability. In a nearly monochromatic work, it becomes even more interesting to explore the color and its possible contrasts: shape meets line, color meets non-color, light meets dark. "REVELING IN BLUE #2" | 160 x 200 cm (79 x 3 in) | mixed media, hands and passion on raw canvas. I started two works in parallel this way. During the process, both developed into independent pieces, even though they could definitely be shown together. Find "REVELING IN BLUE #1" in another reel and post!

STUDIO TALK no. 5 >>> Subtitles in German and Englis now, still trying what works best because the automatical translation seems to not do so...! <<< Today I show you two new works, the first works of a new series. I had the idea for this since long and now started for a new project, though it currently isn't sure if it will happen. But no matter, it was the perfect impetus to start. I hope you enjoy them! This is just a sneak peek, I'll tell you more about the idea behind these in another STUDIO TALK and when I post them soon. The title of the series is "SOW WHAT?", each work is 30 x 30 cm (12 x 12 in).  Daniela Schweinsberg | Contemporary Abstract Artist | Frankfurt, Germany Powerful, dynamic, full of energy, with an intense vibrancy that touches and moves the viewer directly.

Bathing my hands in blue! Here's a part of the creation process of "REVELING IN BLUE". Near to the end they're rotated, I'm doing this now and then to decide for the next steps. Interestingly, the finished works are usually not rotatable... Enjoy watching! The finished paintings are: "REVELING IN BLUE #1", 150 x 200 cm (79 x 59 in) & "REVELING IN BLUE #2", 160 x 200 cm (79 x 3 in). Both are mixed media, hands and passion on raw canvas.

Time for a new STUDIO TALK! >>> Automatically translated by Instagram! If you don't see a 2nd subtitle in English, check your settings! <<< Today's STUDIO TALK is just a little glimpse into my studio, the place where my paintings come to life (and sometimes magic happens).  Besides the main room you see in the reel, there’s another space I use for storage (like canvases, stretcher bars, packing materials and all the other things you need) and a second room you could probably call a lounge (though far more basically... 😉) - a table, chairs, a spot to work on the desktop, and some space to store finished pieces.

STUDIO TALK #3 A little about the other side of the medal of painting. And the challenge it sometimes is... Watch until the end for some stages of the work. Though I made this video some weeks ago, it's still unfinished (and changed again). I'm a freelance artist based in Frankfurt, Germany. My abstract paintings are characterized by a pictorial rhythm, they radiate energy and dynamic. Though I particularly enjoy large scale painting, I offer a wide range of sizes. If you'd like to see more of my work, just pop over to my portfolio via link in bio @artworkarchive.  Collectors and curators are welcome to request information on available works or to contact me if they are interested in collaborations #armada #artistchallenge #challengeyourself #abstractpainting #instaartist #artoninstagram #instaartexplorers #drawingoncanvas #studiotalk #creativeprocess #contemporaryabstractpainting #womenartist

Fresh from the easel! "FRUIT BASKET II" | 80 x 80 cm (~ 31 x 31 in) | mixed media | raw canvas. I'm amazingly happy with it! Like FRUIT BASKET I" it's dynamic, powerful, and somewhat raw; the motif practically dances across the canvas. I painted both together, but see them as individual paintings. However, they can also be beautifully combined as a diptych.  I linked a short reel with a part of the creation process and there's also a post with a studio shot and close-up's. "FRUIT BASKET II" is available, just send a dm if you want to find out more.

No glam, no gloss. Curious what painting really looks like? There are no rules. Just energy. Pure passion in every stroke. There's no silk dress, no perfect lighting, no clean space. And even less there's a beautifully styled artist, barely dressed, dipping the brush elegant and carefully into the paint on the neat palette. This is real life, real paint, real mess, real work. Maybe not so marketable, but that's me and how it happens. But that's exactly what makes each piece special: It carries a piece of that passion and energy. Of searching, but also of finding and the happiness that comes with it! ...whenever I see those perfectly styled painting scenes, I just ask myself how do they manage...?  Don't you?

STUDIO TALK - BEHIND THE SCENES! Today I'm sharing a glimpse into my studio in Frankfurt and show your four paintings, full of energy and vibrancy! After showing them here, I'll remove them from their stretcher frames, roll and pack them for their journey to @drewmarcgallery in Tampa, Florida. Each piece carries its own rhythm and intensity, and I’m excited to see them fly to the US to find new viewers and forever homes!  These works will soon be on view @drewmarcgallery - don't hesitate to get in touch if your're interested in one of them!

"ARMADA TO THE LAND OF FLOWERS" | 160x150 cm | ~ 63 x 59 in | mixed media | raw canvas. I'm a freelance artist based in Frankfurt, Germany. My abstract paintings are characterized by a pictorial rhythm, they radiate energy and dynamic.

It's time for a STUDIO TALK! I do it in German because I don't have a script, only know what I want to tell and show you. Doing this in English would have taken too much time. And, more important, it wouldn't have been spontaneously and real! I'll use Instagram's translation, so any of you should see subtitles in their own language. Today it's about the happy end of an artscam I had to deal with. A more detailed description of the scam is in the comments. ➡️ I hope you enjoy my little talk! Let me know in the comments, because if so, I'll continue in a loose order. Have a happy Sunday! I'm a freelance artist based in Frankfurt, Germany. My abstract paintings are characterized by a pictorial, gestural rhythm, they radiate energy and dynamic. I work with mixed media, using acrylic paint as base. Though I particularly enjoy large scale painting, my works have a wide range of sizes.

About first marks and layers... The initial marks and layers are always very important - they outline the later composition and entire rhythm of the work. I think this one in its "finished start stage" is a pretty good example! This is what currently is being created in the studio. Right after the vacation I'm incredibly craving green, probably the continuation of the vacation in color... 🎨 Stay tuned for the finished work! I'm a freelance abstract artist based in Frankfurt, Germany. My paintings are mixed media, using acrylic paint as base. I particularly enjoy large scale painting, but my works come in many sizes.

I am very happy that my work is now on display @bilder_hofmann_oberursel! It was great to see my paintings in the bright, high-ceilinged rooms. Some works on paper will soon complete the selection, we already discussed some framing ideas. And I am proud to be in really good company: The framed works on paper on the left of my "CHOOSE LOVE I & II" are by Jiří Georg Dokoupil.

I'm still working on "finds" from the move. While packing in December last year, I found unfinished works on paper in various places, which I then put all together in a large bag. Two or three weeks ago, I started going through and sorting them: Which ones to keep, which to discard. There even was one that was already signed from 2023. Now I think it's not finished yet. And a few of the beginnings have been completed meanwhile (coming soon)! I'm a contemporary abstract painter with a fondness for large scale painting. My works are mixed media works with an acrylic base. Paintings are available directly from my studio or via galleries. Commission inquiries are welcome.

Here are a few impressions from yesterday's opening of "12 QUESTIONS - 3 ANSWERS" at the @arpgaleriehanau. Don't be surprised that there weren't visitors; all photos were taken "before", I didn't have any photos after we started!

Time to show the new studio! Finished - at least as far as a studio can ever be finished... ;-) It has three rooms. When you enter you're in the main room, the one I paint in. Directly there's also a small kitchen with the sink, perfect! That's also the place where I have my collection of other artist's works. I bought some, but also exchanged some of them for my own works. To the left there's another room, this is the one where I store the works I don't unstretch (up to 120 x 120 cm) and have space for packing (if it's small enough to use a table instead of the floor). Yesterday was the first day I really worked! It was great to finally have paint on my hands and clothes again! So far no results, but I hope I can show first new works soon. I still have to get used to it a bit - it's a great studio, but like a new apartment, it's somehow strange at the beginning. It's great to plan anything from scratch for your own needs, but a lot of things still just have to fall into place and find their place. The third room (not shown here) is my storage - packaging material, tools, stretcher bars, different types of canvas, rolled large paintings, frames and anything else (and there's a lot!). Here's to a great time in these rooms and great paintings to be created here! #newstudio #independentartist #studiomove #behindthescenes #artistlife #artiststudio #paintingstudio

Yesterdays efforts... or at least, one of them! My new painting storage. As you might know I store the large paintings rolled, and for the small ones (about up to 120 x 120 cm) I had a storage space under the ceiling in the old studio. I used some Ikea Ivar shelves that I already had in the old studio and combined them in a new way: 3 behind each other so that I have a 90 cm wide and deep space with two floors. Then another one fixed on the side for small works. To make it double safe they're all fixed at each other with screws and the whole shelf is then fixed on the wall. Absolutely happy, it's like I imagined it! Plenty of storage space without taking up too much floor space. And with a 270 cm ceiling I additionally can put boxes on the top. Perfect! Now I'm able to get the paintings out of the old studio in the next few days. Have a great day! #ikeahack #paintingstorage #newstudio #artiststudio #artistlife #buildingstorage #ikeaivar IKEA #independentartist #rankfurtartist

Here’s to a happy and healthy 2025 for all of us! I wish you love, happiness, health and peace and I look forward to meeting you here again, getting feedback, seeing great art and interesting artists, making new contacts... 🍾🥂🎉 These are some impressions from the current studio situation. Before moving, I had workmen cover the floor and install a wooden wall. After installing such a wooden wall in my old studio a few years ago, I don't want to be without it. It's incredibly practical to quickly and easily only move a few screws to hang paintings of various sizes in various combinations. Then furniture and boxes were transported on December 22nd, kitchen and sink were installed on 23rd. On Christmas and the following days I took a rest and did only a few little things. I really needed this after the stressful December, especially since I caught a cold just in time for the Holidays. Since January 2nd I have now “really” started setting up the new studio (that's the reason why you haven't heard from me yet). Actually, I would like to take a little more time because it's exhausting, but on the other hand, of course, I want to finish it so I can finally paint again. The last scenes are the most recent, the chaos is already clearing up a little. #studiomove #happy2025 #independentartist #behindthescenes #contemporarypainter #studiolife #doityourself #artinfrankfurt #frankfurtartist #abstractpainter

2024 was full of events! From a failed thumb operation and nearly 2 months of recovery to about 50 works that found forever homes all around the world! This was my busiest December ever, while exhibiting on the Frankfurt Artists Christmas Market Daily from 12 to 8 pm I managed to move my studio (yeah, it's done!!!), packing up the last sold works in the middle of moving boxes in the old one. Now I'm looking forward to spending a quiet and contemplative Christmas with my family and then just doing nothing for a few days. With recharged power I'll start 2025 with to set up the new studio, which is currently pure chaos after almost 40 moving boxes and all the furniture were simply put in there. A big thank you to everyone who follows my journey here - friends, other artists, collectors, galleries! I'm really looking forward to meeting you again in 2025; here or in real life! Until then, I wish you all a peaceful time and a merry Christmas. Lots of rest and relaxation to recharge your batteries for the new year that is fast approaching us. See you in 2025! #happynewyear #holidayseason #socialmediabreak #rest #holiday #christmas2024 #2024inpics #happy2025 #happynewyear

Current studio situation - the move is just around the corner! With the Artist Christmas Market parallel each day from 12 pm I was up early every day to pack up boxes and prepare everything for the move... #frankfurtartist #studiomove #independentartist #behindthescenes #instaartexplorers #artistlife #studiolife

Some weeks ago for the Discovery Art Fair I didn't design new flyers because I thought it's not necessary to do this every year. But now that I know I'll move in January I wanted to have ones with the new adress already for the 102nd Christmas Market of Frankfurt Artists. And then of course also updated the layout and selected more recent works. It's the first time I decided for this high glossy finish, not sure if I'd choose it again. It looks very nice, but I don't like the feeling of it as much as "normal" paper. #frankfurtartist #frankfurterkünstlerweihnachtsmarkt #independentartist #artistsonig #igersfrankfurt #abstractartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryabstractpainting #kunstinfrankfurt

About last week - sound on!

Stretching my first canvas after my thumb surgery back in July. This one is 160 x 200 cm. It's pure pleasure! Im stretching my canvasses since long now, I think I changed from buying them to stretch myself in 2014 or 2015. Stretched canvasses in high quality are expensive, and though the materials are expensive too, I start to do it myself because I felt I got better quality for the same amount of money I'd have to spend for a ready one. After I started to stretch myself I realized that it is like a first encounter with the painting it will become, we are starting the conversation, so to say. Meanwhile I really wouldn't do it any other way. During my recovery, when I slowly could start to paint again but had no blank canvasses, it didn't come to my mind just to buy some. I was just looking forward to the day when I could make new ones again. And for so long I just painted on those that were still there - and for the first time in my life I was happy that I always have tons of unfinished works in my studio... Any questions regarding the process? #stretchcanvasses #studiovibes #creativeprocess #independentartist #artforsale #dowhatyoulove #artiststudio #buyartfromartists #partofthejob #handmade #partoftheart #wip Daniela Schweinsberg @SchweinsbergArt Independent contemporary painter Portfolio & shop via link in bio (worldwide shipping) Working with interior designers, open for cimmissions Abstract painting | specialized in large scales | Frankfurt, Germany

Some impressions from the opening of "...lass uns duzen, Frankfurt" at art studio @salimusliu last Thursday. It was an open call to all artists to bring one work up to 100x100 cm. Because only one work was allowed and there was no theme, there are works by 29 completely different artists - from digital art and photography to photorealistic and abstract painting. With lots of visitors it was fun to meet the other artists! On view in Sali Musliu's store in the Skyline Plaza Frankfurt. #lassunsduzen #skylineplaza #kunstinfrankfurt #zeitgenössischekunst #kunstsammler #freiekunst #frankfurt #artinfrankfurt #frankfurtartist #germanartist #kunstkaufen #buyart #supportindependentartists

Delivering artwork the different way! Read and keep watching... 😉😄 Special service: For a painting that sold via @Saatchiart, the customer requested it to be shipped on a specific day - and of course (what else...?) I couldn't do it on that exact day. No problem: I just took the ready packed work on my bike and drove it about 20 km away to my mother. She sent it as requested! The package was way over my head and I got a few strange looks - but it worked great and I had fun too. Maybe I'll have a third career as a bike courier... PS: Don't mind what I'm saying - it's basically what I wrote here, but with the wind and surrounding noises it was completely inaudible...! #artworkdelivery #artdeliverybybike #justsold #buyart #buyartonline #artforsale #artshipping Daniela Schweinsberg @SchweinsbergArt Independent contemporary painter Portfolio via link in bio Abstract painting | specialized in large scales | Frankfurt, Germany

Highlights in an artist's life... To me not many things are as satisfying like varnishing a finished work!

...from a huuuuge pile of works in process! I guess theres a total of 40 to 50 works in my studio that needs to be finished. Most of them smaller ones. ...did I already mention that I'm the "Queen of Starts"? 🤔 Well, currently that's not bad. My injured thumb is better but still not fine, no way to stretch new canvasses. So now it's the time to revisit some WIP's - most of them are far from being finished, perfect to play around and see what I'm able to do! #independentartist #workinprogess #creativeprocess #studiovibes #artiststudio #frankfurtartist #contemporarypainter #artista #contemporaryabstractpainting

Do you love stats? I do! I think for an artist, I'm pretty precise and meticulous when it comes to recording and documentation (maybe that's the part of me that studied business administration...). So here are some: The painting in the reel, "ROUGH BLACK II" (150x120 cm | 59x47 in) just arrived in its new home - thank you very much Angela! 🙏 Since I'm selling my work I sent over 150 paintings to the US and this is the 14th painting that found its forever home in New York. Wow! When you're still not able to paint 1,5 week after a surgery and waiting for the thumb to be back in the game, the right stats can be really uplifting.

There was a lot going on in the studio in the last few days - I knew that I was going to have a surgery on the right thumb, but I was in an amazing creative flow that I wanted to live out. It was just the right time to take on works that have been started a long time ago but never finished... This is how I left my studio the day before the surgery - cross fingers for a speedy recovery because I can't wait to continue...!

Just the usual everyday chaos in my studio, doing what I love!

Some weeks ago one of my works headed to Georgia, the first work I send there. That prompted me to take a look at my stats: It's the 26th country worldwide that I've send a painting to! If someone had told me that when I started painting, or even 10 years ago, I wouldn't have believed it. This is absolutely incredible and I'm happy and grateful for it! To everyone who supported me on this journey, galleries, art platforms, artists, collectors...: Thank you!

This is a time lapse of the first painting session I had with a new painting on paper, about 160 x 140 cm. It's gone a bit back and forth, currently it's far from finished and I'm not sure if I'll ever finish it (unfortunately, outside of the beautiful world of marketing, this is reality...). For now I'll let it rest on the wall, I think one day inspiration will come! ...writing this, I just remembered what Picasso once said. I'm not sure if that's the exact wording, but it basically was: "Inspiration will come, but she has to find you working.". IMHO that's very true! Have a great and creative day! #timelapse #paintingtimelapse #paintingreel #livepainting #paintingonpaper #picasso #artquotes #creativeprocess #paintingprocess #studioinsights #independentartists

Transformation! After all the busy weeks before the fair and a lot of working on small pieces I needed something bigger to play on. In this cases paper is always a good decision, so I unrolled this piece of about 140 x 240 cm on the floor to have a little "painting party" with myself. I don't paint on paper on the floor often because you can't move it to dry or just put it aside, especially if it is do large. But there's so much administrative work to do that I thought it won't be a problem if it occupies the floor for some days. Meanwhile it is finished - and I love it! Hopefully I can take pics of it it in daylight the next days - another challenge with large scale works on paper, but that's another story.... #frankfurtartist #instaartexplorers #artcollectors #interiordesigners #artonpaper #creativeprocess #largescalepainting #germanartist #independentartist #artistsofig #artistsmarketthemselves

Blue is the color! About two or three months ago I had lots of left overs of a ready mixed blue. Being in a mood for blue I decided to take some sheets of heavy paper (about 600 gsm I think, near to board) and do some fast, dynamic and splashing starts. Each 70 x 50 cm. Not sure when I'll find time to work further on them, but I think they're really promising - aren't they? #frankfurtartist #bluesketch #artonpaper #artistsofig #bluepainting #creativeprocess #studiovibes #workinprocess #frankfurtart

Art makes a home - what do you think? I always love getting photos of my paintings in their new homes. And it is always impressive how much a painting influences a room, strengthening or changing its character. This one is a rather simple, classic interior. But that's perfect to see how much a painting changes the room - sometimes the classic, elegant expression is reinforced, sometimes the painting brings in a playful touch. The large ones dominate the room, the smaller ones support the homeliness and are unique eye-catchers. I love them all (I know that's not a surprise at all... 😉), but I also note that I like when a large one fills the wall with a big bang! Which is your favorite? 1 - "I ALWAYS TAKE THE BIGGEST SUNDAE", 160 x 120 cm (63 x 47 in) 2 - "EVEN NICE GIRLS CAN MAKE A MESS", 160 x 160 cm (63 x 63 in) 3 - "I FEEL PINK", 160 x 140 cm (63 x 55 in) 4 - "ROUGH GREEN II", 120 cm (47 in) diameter 5 - "MAKE YOUR OWN KIND OF MUSIC", no. 2, 3, 7 and 8, each 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 in) 6 - "SOFT GRAY", 150 x 120 cm (59 x 47 in) 7 - "HAVE THE GUTS (LITTLE TIGER)", 160 x 160 cm (63 x 63 in) 8 - "ROUGH BLUE", 160 x 120 cm (63 x 47 in) 9 - "ROUGH BLACK II", 150 x 120 cm (59 x 47 in) 10 - "LOOKING UP AT THE SKY", 100 x 80 cm (39 x 31 in)  #frankfurtartist #artmakesahome #artistsoninstagram #independentartist #artforyourhome #interiordesigners #homedesign #interiordesigninspo #livewithart #artmakestheroom #instaartexplorers #germanartist #buyartfromartists

Happy Saturday! This is one of my favorites from 2023, "HAVE THE GUTS (LITTLE TIGER)", 160 x 160 cm | 63 x 63 in. It was the first work I finished in 2023, and the first work of a year is always something special for me. Now it is heading to Portland. The new owner saw some of my paintings years ago in a hotel in the UK and found me via the signature. Now she decided to give this special piece and another one their forever home - Thank you so much K.! 😊 Bon voyage - and to all of you a happy Saturday!

Good Morning Folks! This is a brand new tondo: "ROUGH GREEN II", acrylic / mixed media on self-stretched canvas, 120 cm (~ 47 in) in diameter. I just finished it yesterday in my first painting session after #theotherartfairla and a little vacation in LA! But I have to admit that I started it weeks ago. It was nearly done and only needed some finishing touches... 😉 The tondo's often make me think of a view of the Earth from space - even more so in a color like green! This one is available, you find it in my shop in the category "TONDO'S" (or use product tag) or send a dm if ypu're interested.

For long now I time and again thought about offering prints, but didn't pursue the whole thing determined enough to actually offer any yet. Then some weeks ago during my preparations for @theotherartfair, I again thought limited edition prints would be a nice addition to the offering, also as a more affordable alternative to an original work. So, finally, this needs to be done - and here are some test prints on different kinds of fine art paper to see how the prints turn out on them. For my first fine art prints I selected a series of five works (the "FULL-HEARTED" series) that are 40 x 30 cm (16 x 12 in), and so are the prints. They'll be available as a limited Edition of 50. I didn't find the time to make them available in my shop yet, but will do so next month. Let me know if you're interested, than I'll sent you a message when they're available online.

Here's the latest from the "A PIECE OF HAPPINESS" series, I'm so in love with it that I have to share it immediately... After a few failures with the resin in general, this one has now turned out great again, luckily... (it's already the second layer of resin). Got a English lesson this morning, after this I'll keep on working on some Tondo's for @theotherartfair and also framing up some smaller works that will travel with me to LA, it's still busy in the studio.

This is a little insight into my creation process for the "FRAGEMENTS OF A DREAM" and the "A PIECE OF HAPPINESS" series.  Though both series are completely different, I start them all the same way. During the process each painting shows me, to which it belongs. PS: When I'm not working on the series, I store them under the wood panel, that makes them nice and flat again. PSS: Video is cropped to match the max size for reels. In real it's about 2 minutes, after what you see some examples of finished works from the "FRAGMENTS OF A DREAM" series follow. You can see it in full on my YouTube channel (via linktree in bio), it's the last one uploaded. @SchweinsbergArt Independent contemporary artist Portfolio & shop via link in bio (worldwide shipping) Abstract painting | specialized in large scales | living and working in Frankfurt, Germany #creativeprocess #youtubechannel #instaartexplorers #resinpainting #smallabstract #frankfurtartist #artistsofinstagram #instaart #artlovers #artwatchers #supportlivingartist #insidethestudio #studiovibes #contemporaryabstractpaintings #independentartist

<< Sound on! >> For every artistic work it is important to know what you do, why and how. To know your materials and tools, how they interact together, which brush, paint or medium to use for this or that surface or effect. And you also never stop exploring new techniques and experimenting. What means, sometimes things don't work (what usually nobody ever sees...). Like, in this case, a recent resin finish. But often this opens new doors, brings new ideas. I was a little sad because the work itself was one of my favorites. The first layer of resin somehow wasn't smooth, so I sanded it off and made a new one. Looked good, but then (I think) I detached the tape too early. Then I decided to give up this piece and therefore spray painted it black when I looked at what I was doing and thought "omg, this has potential"!!! I never worked onto a resin layer yet but this is the perfect piece to try it. See how it works, and when I'm satisfied with the result, justl put another layer of resin on top. Cross fingers for me that in some weeks I can show the result! Happy weekend, folks!

Just a short reel to show you "A PIECE OF HAPPINES no. 4" in real live. Btw, I just noticed that I didn't show you no. 3. I currently really have to catch up on social media, have several finished pieces but I'm painting like crazy and don't take the time to edit the pics and what else is to do after finishing a work... Anyway, I absolutely enjoy my creative processes currently. I have gone through times where creativity didn't flow like now, so I know what a gift this is - makes it easy to let everything else wait a little longer! I hope you enjoy the finished works as much as I - have a happy Tuesday!

At some point I came across this quote from Andrew Wyeth, an American painter. The man speaks from my heart! Even if otherwise it would be better in times of artists' self-promotion and social media. And, also, I really love to see other painters work, there are so many nice videos of painters sharing their process. But for me it has always been like this; in the past, when I regularly attended painting courses, it took me so long to get used to painting in company that the course was almost over... The magic that happens when I put my headphones on, focus on the current work, making my steps spontaneously and instinctively, dancing around the canvas, getting high on painting - this is very intimate for me. So from my personal point of view Andrew said it well! #frankfurtartist #livepainting #paintingreel #insidethestudio #artquotes #workingprocess #creativeprocess #gettinghighonpainting

Hi there! This is "A PIECE OF HAPPINESS no. 2"", another piece with a resin finish. When I edited the pics that I took outside, I noticed that it is nearly impossible to photograph without refections, so I thought it might be better to post a reel! I started many of this small works, and not all will belong to the intended series! This is the first of them, I love the pencil work, the colors and its overall a litte "rough and dirty" look, that stands in a nice contrast to the smooth, glossy resin finish and the neat sides. And unlike the planned series I decided to paint the sides, they have a bright mint green. I think, more of these colorful and shiny small ones will follow. I'm currently totally obsessed with working on these little gems, doesn't matter if they are part of the (not yet published) series or, like this one, don't. 20 x 20 x 5 cm (7.9 x 7.9 x 2 in), mixed media on paper on wood panel. Resin finish with UV protection. Ready to hang and ready to leave the studio! If you'd like to give it a new home, head over to my shop, you'll find it in shop category "S" or the new category "RESIN FINISH". #resinartwork #greenabstract #smallpaintings #paintingonwood #abstractartlovers #contemporaryabstractpaintings #apieceofhappiness #smallgreenpainting #smalltreasures

Sound on! Studio vibes, just a short tour and what I'm currently working on! I hope you enjoy it! #frankfurtartist #studiovibes #artiststudio #insidethestudio #workinprogress #creativeprocess #independentartist #dowhatyoulove #artlovers #artcollectors #seewhereitismade #paintingstudio

Sneak peek on the first works from the new series. I really like how they turned out, it's exactly what I hoped for when I had the idea to use resin! After my first attempt I started with the works from this series - and though the test piece was nearly perfect, I had some difficulties. It's absolutely necessary to work carefully and not sloppily, also the exact time when to remove the tape is important. I think I got it now! 😄 Each is 20 x 20 cm (~ 8 x 8 in), mixed media on wood with resin finish. I think they'll travel with me to @theotherartfair in Los Angeles! #frankfurtartist #theotherartfair #theotherartfairla2024 #losangeles #artinlosangeles #instaartist #independentartist #losangelesartcollectors #contemporaryartist #smallabstract #paintingonwood #woodpanel

Some things are easier written than said, feelings become paintings or texts. "WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED TO TELL YOU", 20 x 20 cm (~ 8 x 8 in), acrylic / mixed media on paper on wood panel. Finished with a layer of resin for an amazing smooth surface and extra gloss. I post this reel in addition to pics because you can see the great surface much better through movements and light! This little cutie is available, head over to my shop via link in bio (go to shop category "S") or via story highlights! #whatialwayswantedtotellyou #smallpainting #resinpainting #frankfurtartist #glossypainting #smallbutmighty #smallabstract #contemporaryart #abstractpainting #contemporaryabstract

And here's the third and last part - again, sound on! I'm really satisfied with the results and will use this technique for the new series. And I'm in love with the one I made here, thank god it turned out perfect, that really could have been worse for the first attempt. Pics of the result are on the way, will share tomorrow! #resinfinish #frankfurtartist #artistsoninstagram #abstractart #contemporaryart #inthestudio #dowhatyoulove #instaart #artisthowto #mixedmedia #contemporaryabstract

Using resin for the first time... Part 2 - sound on!!! Do you have any tips for using resin? What I would love to hear is when to detach the tape. I did it after (guess) 3,5 hours, but it seems this was a little to early. Of course it depends on the temperature etc., but though I tried to check via pressing a little on the resin from the outside I had no idea if it was hard enought or not. Hopefully I'll get a better feeling for this the more experience I gain... #resinfinish #frankfurtartist #artistsoninstagram #abstractart #contemporaryart #inthestudio #dowhatyoulove #instaart #artisthowto #mixedmedia #contemporaryabstract

Using resin for the first time... Part 1. (Sound on! Also read the caption for more about the new series and why I want to use resin.) I cannot share the whole process in one reel because it's too long, so I cutted it up into 3 parts, here's the first one! I've never used resin before because I always thought that in most cases it is superfluous if a painting is really good. At least with my kind of work, there are also works in which the resin is part of the style. As I said, I haven't always found it really suitable for me. But now I would like to start a new series, inspired by the last large monochrome works. However, the works from this series should be small but rough and full of character with rather reserved colors. And I think that the "fancy" resin can create an amazing contrast to this style. So today the first restin test with a little painting that doesn't belong to the series. I finished it some days ago and not varnished yet. I would have used a glossy varnish for it, but I think that resin will look great here too.  #resinart #watchartistswork #inthestudio #instaartist #lifeofanartist #independentartist #pouringresin #usingresin #howtouseresin #newproject

Here's my first ever finished Tondo! I posted a pic in progress some days ago - I didn't change the basic compositon, but the red main area has now a layer of heavy textured, dynamic brushwork. The blue dot below marks the bottom middle. I attached it after I noticed that I often "slid" when painting or putting it up and down the wall, which made finding and working out the composition more difficult. It helped. The different shades of are hard to see without daylight and with the mobile, hopefully will be better when I can take pics outside - will follow! Have a great start into the week! 😄  #tondo #redtondo #monochromered #circlepainting #instaart #frankfurtartist #artistsoninstagram #roundcanvas #redabstractpainting #independentartist

I alrady postet a pic of "ROUGH RED II" but thought it might be nice to show some of its details and interior examples in a little reel. There are a few more videos on my YouTube channel that feature my paintings, if you are interested just head over via link in bio! #paintingvideo #youtube #youtubechannel #youtubepainters #contemporaryabstractpaintings #redpainting #redartwork #roughred #redmonochrome

Busy studio at the moment: Working on my monochrome series while also trying to find time to finish some unfinished work waiting for me since a while now and of course start some new work, mostly in smaller sizes, in preparation for the upcoming @theotherartfair in Los Angeles - exciting times...! The painting is “PRECIOUS GREEN”, one of the newest – just a short sneak peek, a post with more pics and data will follow. #frankfurtartist #busystudio #insideartistsstudio #preciousgreen #artistsoninsta #independentartist #losangeles #theotherartfairlosangeles

When working on large sized paintings with large brushes and much paint, an awful lot of paint gets stuck in the brushes. This is far too good to wash off, and it's not good for the environment either. So before I clean them under running water, I wash them in a pot of water. I then use the water for my work - in this example as a base layer for a new work. I painted a lot with red during the last days and weeks and simply made sure to always wash out reds only in this pot. But you can also mix everything and then get beautiful gray and brown tones that are much more vibrant than the ones you buy! Of course the longer you use the same water, the more intense it becomes... #artisttipsandtricks #artiststudio #redpainting #insidethestudio #independentartist #artlovers #abstractpaintingartist

How to stretch a tondo... I usually stretch my canvasses myself, but never did a tondo before. I have to admit, that I simply wasn't interested in working on them yet. On the last fair I visited, my booth neighbour showed some tondos but in huge sizes, hers were about 180 cm in diameter. That was when I fell in love and though, that I had to try it. Of course I want to stretch myself, so did a bit of research and found some - for my first attempt I ordered 3 pieces, each 130 cm in diameter. I decided to start with this smaller ones to see if I can handle them, also to see if I manage to unstretch and "deconstruct" the frames for shipping. First part worked well, the stretching was much more easy as I thought, I think I needed about 20 minutes for the first. Still not sure about the restretching. I think this size can be shipped ready to hang, but when I like painting them, I definitely have to work out a way for this. Will see, first I'll paint. These three should become parts of my current monochrome series, I think they will look amazing with this bold, heavy textured brushwork... Have a great start into the week! #frankfurtartist #stretchcanvasses #stretchtondos #insidethestudio #dowhatmakesyouhappy #contemporarypainter #TONDO #roundpainting #monochrome #artlovers #artwatchers

Some days ago I read an article with this title by valeriepraekelt , published in Vogue Germany May 2023. Found by chance cause I was looking for a specific technical Instagram feature. It is SUPER exiting, but above all, it hit the mark. A lot of it corresponds to my own situation, what I have experienced or am still experiencing. It's about a new generation of artists who, in contrast to the established art market, market themselves. My own definition of this generation isn’t that of age, I would primarily describe them as “other” artists. The internet and esp social media open possibilities that no one had thought of 15 years ago. Those days, without a gallery an artist had no chance of reaching an audience. Today it’s possible, hard work though. But it also is competition for those established which may not have adapted to this change. It also may change the Q&A to “who decides what is art”. I recently showed at an art fair & when we talked many visitors said “I know nothing about art”. I always answered that I think everyone knows whether they like something or not, what is the most important thing.  I personally experienced that galleries didn’t want to show my work because I actively show and sell it myself and can be found on online galleries; the rejection had nothing to do with the quality of my work. OTOH, gallery representation was (perhaps still is) one of the things that distinguishes "hobby" from "professional" for most people.  Conversely, does this mean art on Instagram can’t be art? And why does it still often have a negative connotation when an artist actively markets himself to make a living from his work? I’m all the happier to build relationships with partners who see this as a win-win situation & use these new opportunities themselves. The article also reflects on the lack of the topic of sales & marketing in art studies, another super interesting topic. I could write a lot more, but sadly only 2200 chars are allowed... Article in German, comment “link” & I send link via dm; other languages might use online translation. @voguegermany  @winter.lena #independentartist #artmarketing #artistsmarketthemselves #whatisart

I decided to show some works from my "DON'T EXPECT LIFE TO MAKE SENSE" series in the upcoming exhibition and currently framing them. The works are 100 x 70 cm each and I ordered aluminum frames with acrylic glass by Pears. Framing was absolutely easy, the frames are nice to use. Anyway, I decided to use them without the glass. The paintings are varnished with UV protection and I feel that they are displayed better without glass, gives a better view on the beautiful textures and layers. By the way, there are some more works from this series still available. If you're interested, just head over to my available works (via link in bio) and scroll down a bit. I didn't manage to put them all up at my shop, but if you love one of them, just let me know! *unpaid mention of brands #contemporaryartist #independentartist #exhibition #upcomingexhibition #comingsoon #studiolife #abstractartist #lifeofanartist #newproject #framingart
