CAROLINA´S PAINTINGS
Traveling awakens my curiosity, encourages beautiful encounters and brings me joy & a sense of personal satisfaction.
Writing helps me share ideas & experiences with others and fulfill my life purpose.
Meanwhile painting takes me to another place, where creativity gently emerges, and self-expression freely flows.
Throughout my life I have been enjoying art in various forms. When I travel, I often go to art galleries to find inspiration. What attracts me in art are colours, particularly unusual colour combinations, shapes and structure.
Only recently, over the past five years, I have had the chance to focus more on art, especially when I lived in Japan (2018-2020). There, I learned calligraphy and painted on beach wood from the local beach of Rokkasho mura, Aomori-ken, where we lived. Without realising it, this is what brought me back to the art world.
When I moved back to Germany in 2020, I started exploring different techniques including gilding, pouring, collage and negative painting. I experimented using water colour, acrylic, sumi (Chinese ink) as well as pigments, shellack and a large variety of modelling pastes. With time, mixed media has become one of my main points of focus because it gives me the chance to play with colours, shapes and structures, exactly what I am looking for in art.
My teachers are Maria Grossbaum, who taught me 3D modelling paste, gold leaf techniques, acrylic and water colour, Christine Rauscher, with whom I focused more on acrylic and Annegret Poschlep, who made me discover a broad range of pastes available to artists to create structure.
Although the universe of art is vast and broad, with many tempting new techniques, I have decided for the moment to focus on three areas:
1. aquarelle & golden leaf (dragonfly, water lilies),
2. intuitive painting and
3. acrylic & mixed media.
