My Wishes will be fullfilled (2025)Oil painting
by Ulli Schmitt

These portraits are not decoration. They are encounters.
They show women in all their physical and emotional presence—raw, vulnerable, powerful. Inspired by a painterly visual language that does not smooth over flesh, skin, and identity, but celebrates them, the result is works that look at you before you look at them.
This is not about perfection.
It is about truth.
The portraits tell of lives lived. These portraits allow bodies to be large, heavy, real. They reject the pleasing gaze and offer something more valuable in return: recognition. Strength. Depth.
