"Daniela's “Me at 21” and “Violet” are dervishes of color, sometimes paused with a magenta dot or rogue black seeds of paint on the periphery of the painting. The violence of the strokes is subsumed by the playfulness that comes out of them—sectors of pinks and purples, as if the palette on which she mixes becomes the canvas on which she paints"
Moberg Gallery, 2023
The first thing that strikes me about Schweinsberg's work is that it feels genuinely lived through rather than designed. There is a physicality to these paintings that comes from action, revision, hesitation, aggression, and release.
Many gestural abstraction painters talk about energy, but in her works the energy is actually visible in the surface. The paintings feel like records of decisions rather than illustrations of a concept.
Rebecca Smith, Beers London, 2026
"The works of the Frankfurt artist Daniela Schweinsberg can be classified as gestural abstraction. The works created with acrylic, oil, spray paint and mixed media are powerful and colorful; the gestural moment dominates the entire rhythm of the painting. A challenge for the viewer."
Patricia Corboud, HLP Galerie, 2018
"You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognise it, how to control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once."
Helen Frankenthaler, American abstract expressionist painter
