Winnie Seifert

Winnie Seifert's paintings are the manifestation of memories and observations that move her and her surroundings. She creates emotional landscapes from glazed and impasto applications of paint. She intuitively chooses a high-contrast colour palette - blue, pink, bright yellow - to make spontaneity tangible. A brute style can also be juxtaposed with delicate colourfulness. The abstract rhythm of spots, veils and cyphers opens up a space of thought that is free for individual ideas and experiences, although contradictory truths are also allowed to take their place.

At times, the exhibition space itself becomes the image carrier as Winnie Seifert leaves the canvas and opens up an additional dimension for the audience. The exploration and discovery of new connections between abstraction and imagination, between fantasy and identity, and moment and reality, represent the centre of her artistic work. By overcoming the boundaries of her conventional artistic practice, she aims to create an immersive experience. Painting can therefore not only be viewed but surrounds the viewer and takes them on a journey, blurring the barriers between art and reality. In her work, which is always in exchange with the subtle nuances of human emotions, you can lose yourself and become a part of them.

Winnie Seifert (*1987 in Berlin) grew up in Berlin as the daughter of the artist couple Dorothea and Joachim Seifert.
