About Daniela Schweinsberg

 
 
  • Biography

    My paintings are visual narratives. Their creation usually begins spontaneously, from a mood, an idea. The desire to reach for a certain color, choose a specific surface, or use a specific technique.

    Then a process of interaction begins. This is exclusively about the painting itself, its expression, its form, and the feelings it evokes at each stage. 

    My process is a mixture of fast, intuitive and spontaneous painting and considered steps. Colors, surfaces, lines, brushstrokes, and materials gradually coalesce into an overall composition. The original intention can change and expand in this process, but it can also fade into the background and become the basis for something else.

    In addition to the interaction with the painting, external stimuli also flow in during this process: what topics interest me, what's currently moving society, current events – and often, of course, this is connected. Thus, the image begins to tell its own story. With my titles I try to capture this story, but at the same time allow the viewer to create their own interpretation.

    I particularly enjoy working on large formats because I can engage with my entire body - you could also call it a dance with or on the canvas. 

    The energy generated during this creative process is visible and tangible in the finished work: in the application of paint, the brushwork, and the pictorial rhythm. My works are powerful, have an energetic aura, and an almost tangible dynamism.

    As a counterpoint to reality, I love that my artistic work is completely free of rules, regulations, and routine. The freedom of my work is both a challenge and an incentive for me to create something new and unique. This creative urge is also the reason why I paint abstractly. After several years of representational painting, my work gradually became more abstract. I found that working without templates and guidelines was much more exciting for me – experimenting and trying things out, exploring canvas, material, and composition. I have now been working exclusively abstract and informal for well over a decade. 

    Even today, when I start a new work, I am inspired by the thought that absolutely anything is possible on this canvas!

Biography

My paintings are visual narratives. Their creation usually begins spontaneously, from a mood, an idea. The desire to reach for a certain color, choose a specific surface, or use a specific technique.

Then a process of interaction begins. This is exclusively about the painting itself, its expression, its form, and the feelings it evokes at each stage. 

My process is a mixture of fast, intuitive and spontaneous painting and considered steps. Colors, surfaces, lines, brushstrokes, and materials gradually coalesce into an overall composition. The original intention can change and expand in this process, but it can also fade into the background and become the basis for something else.

In addition to the interaction with the painting, external stimuli also flow in during this process: what topics interest me, what's currently moving society, current events – and often, of course, this is connected. Thus, the image begins to tell its own story. With my titles I try to capture this story, but at the same time allow the viewer to create their own interpretation.

I particularly enjoy working on large formats because I can engage with my entire body - you could also call it a dance with or on the canvas. 

The energy generated during this creative process is visible and tangible in the finished work: in the application of paint, the brushwork, and the pictorial rhythm. My works are powerful, have an energetic aura, and an almost tangible dynamism.

As a counterpoint to reality, I love that my artistic work is completely free of rules, regulations, and routine. The freedom of my work is both a challenge and an incentive for me to create something new and unique. This creative urge is also the reason why I paint abstractly. After several years of representational painting, my work gradually became more abstract. I found that working without templates and guidelines was much more exciting for me – experimenting and trying things out, exploring canvas, material, and composition. I have now been working exclusively abstract and informal for well over a decade. 

Even today, when I start a new work, I am inspired by the thought that absolutely anything is possible on this canvas!
