"In a world where we hardly find time to rest,
I try to offer what many people long for -
visual places where time appears to run slower."

Inspired by the Mediterranean light and the sea this Mallorca-based German artist paints pictures via a method of slow discovery allowing the story to emerge gradually.

Her style is somewhere between abstract and figurative, depending on how far the imagination of the viewer is willing to go. She is working with layers of paint. A process of showing and hiding parts of the paintings history.

"Usually I paint with spatulas and sponges. I love to lift lower layers of paint by sanding and scratching the surface to finally discover a figure - or just some shapes. This is the moment when the painting gets alive and it tells me a story."

After her studies she was travelling for a long period of time through North and South America that gave her a better understanding of the diversity of culture and environment. In this special time of her life she also took classes at different artist studios till she found her own style of painting.

Important places for her were Mexico, New York and especially Montreal in Canada, where she lived for more than 3 years.

Once back to Europe she finally found the right place to settle down on this Mediterranean Island Majorca, where the sea, the light and the warm climate animate her to create these bright and light-flooded paintings, notable for their timeless, atmospheric qualities.

Doris Duschelbauer participated in numerous international exhibitions. Her work is in public and private collections in Canada, USA, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and Austria.
