Art arouses emotions…
But everyone sees it in their own way.

Art meets resonance

Anja Ernsberger

Art resonates by touching on something that moves the viewer. Be it great joy or times of great suffering. Her works reflect intense emotions that have been awakened through encounters with others.

Looking at her pictures should create a space in which you can let yourself go. A safe space. A space in which viewer:in
and artist meet.

Her preferred materials are acrylic paint, graffiti spray and canvas. The series are as different as the emotional states from which they were created.

aesthetic paradigm

Georg Pummer

The artist Georg Pummer confronts the inevitable transience artistically by integrating the principle of thoughtful preservation.

His extraordinary and at the same time fascinatingly irritating paintings have established him as a pioneer of the glitch style. In this style, deliberately integrated image disturbances are elevated to an aesthetic paradigm that defines a completely new visual concept.

Based on acrylic painting, the Austrian artist’s works are characterized by a striking video aesthetic that lends the works an almost digital appearance. The carefully created alienations and fragmentations appear almost as if they had been generated electronically.

When looking at them, associations with the typical image distortions of television sets or pixelations on displays that once inspired Georg Pummer to create his inspiring works involuntarily arise.

This artfully designed process of dissolution skillfully anchors what is depicted in surrealism, a movement that explores the border area between reality and the dream state.

Visual battles of color

Isabelle Breitkopf

The up-and-coming Mainz artist Isabelle Breitkopf always manages to inspire visitors with her colorful works.

Each of her works is a visual color battle. There are no boundaries, no rules, colors and shapes mingle and bring the canvas to life. Whether with rags, sponges, palette knives, paint rollers or other everyday objects, she uses any means to bring the complex structures of her abstract works to the canvas.

In addition, each of her works is given a unique and unusual title, with which the artist aims to make art more accessible to everyone.

The French-born artist lives and works in Mainz.

Playful handling of shapes

Karepa-Art

Sergejs Belovs, 38 years old, is the artist behind Karepa-Art with a preference for bold, vibrant colors.

His works are characterized by a playful use of shapes and a summery color palette – each painting brings lightness and freshness to the room.

His abstract paintings are not only works of art, but also unique interior elements that create atmosphere and bring a special flair to your rooms.

Bringing the canvas to life

Michael Friese

Ever since he was a child, he felt a creativity within him, which he was able to live out in woodworking with his grandfather and in painting, accompanied by his mother.
He attended a painting school for several years in his youth, learning various techniques and how to use paints, brushes and palette knives.

Over the years, he has experimented a lot and now works mainly with oil paint. It is simply challenging to work with and takes a long time to dry, but this pays off in the end and is very different from acrylic painting.

Filling a white canvas with life is the challenge every time.

It gives him an incredible amount of freedom to live out this creativity. Combining colors to create contrasts, but also harmony and depth.

Paintings with a reduced palette

Stefanie Raus

Stefanie Raus is a self-taught contemporary artist from Achern, at the foot of the Black Forest. Art and creativity are an essential part of her identity.

She worked in the banking industry for many years, where she always felt very comfortable. At some point in her life, however, she wants to live her true passion again.

As she did not want to rely solely on her self-taught skills, she attended courses with the Offenburg artist Inge Panter, who laid the foundations for her own style later on.

Stefanie is fascinated by landscapes, which usually inspire her to create her own abstractions.

For her, art and painting are about being alive. They help her to recognize herself and to grow.

The beauty & transience of nature

Rosie Tretter

Rosie Tretter has always been fascinated by colors, their effects and expressive possibilities. How anything can emerge from nothing, a white surface.

For her, art is freedom. Reality and fantasy meet and merge into a new world, freeing the mind from its previous imagination, far from all constraints and rules.

Both the artist and the viewer enjoy this freedom – the artist in his ability to express himself, the viewer in his ability to interpret everything.

Her love of nature and wildlife was overwhelmed during her time in Namibia, where she worked at a lodge, and shaped in her the desire to protect it.

She then traveled the world as a flight attendant for several years, getting to know many interesting people and places. Travel and foreign cultures have always been her greatest inspiration alongside nature, and art has always accompanied her and strengthened her urge to capture what she has seen and experienced in pictures.

Pointillism

Thorsten Poersch

Stop, pause, take your time, understand, touch, let your mind wander, be with yourself. Without a cell phone, free yourself from overstimulation and the pace. Enjoy and relax. This is exactly what Poersch hopes for when the viewer encounters his works.

His portraits are created using a dot technique reminiscent of pop art and at the same time reminiscent of pointillism. An image is created from a multitude of small dots, which allows the viewer to see a clearly recognizable face from a distance, while the structure of the individual dots becomes clearer on closer inspection.

This technique emphasizes the pixelation and fragmentary nature of modern digital imagery and brings the theme of the decay of information to the fore. The result is a tension between detail and abstraction, which is created in particular by the complexity of the surface and the different materials.

Poersch studied art/art therapy in Bochum in 1999 and painting at the University of Dortmund in 2002. He later became a master student and friend of Prof. Wilfrid Polke, brother of Sigmar Polke, Düsseldorf.

Surreal, expressive and humorous

Utaellamarie Peter

She sees some things differently and Utaellamarie Peter expresses this in her large-format, colorful pictures characterized by strong motifs. The imagination bubbles over, an imagination that is shaped by the confrontation and positioning with and in a world flooded with texts and images.

A multitude of themes occupy this late-career, but all the more passionate painter. And so a wealth of ideas characterizes her work, which often revolves around the existence of the ‘crown of creation’ and its consequences. She likes to show the surprising, strange and surreal in her figurative works, sometimes with more humor, sometimes less.

And humor is an important element in her work because, as the artist says, “Without humor, everything is nothing!”

Going beyond conventional limits

Viktoria Ilzhöfer

Viktoria Ilzhöfer (born Viktoria Mihajlovna Kashtsialian) was born in Belarus in 1979. After attending school, she decided to study art at the Minsk State Art Academy from 1995 to 1999. She then studied social psychology at the Belarusian State University from 2001 to 2006. She has lived in the Stuttgart area since 2006. She joined the Kunstverein Schwäbisch Hall in 2024.

The philosophy of her art is deeply rooted in the representation of feelings. Her works reflect her innermost emotions and experiences, which she expresses in a subtle and impressive way. Values like an inner compass guide her artistic journey. Her art explores the deep facets of human existence, enriched by her experiences in art, psychology and wisdom. Her resume documents an inspiring journey through various dimensions of creativity and human life.

Viktoria Ilzhöfer has mastered the oil-on-canvas technique in various styles and invites us to view the diversity of art through her eyes. Her works are enhanced by the skillful application of palette knife technique and are given a unique three-dimensional texture and a touch of luxury using gold and silver leaf metals.

These artistic methods allow her to go beyond conventional boundaries and create artworks with rich colors, textures and symbolic meaning.

Farben, die Formen herausfordern

Adelina Virga

For Adelina, certain power also expresses itself as color. She concretizes her point of view in pictures. She emphasizes events that are not recognizable at first glance with strong colors in the background and composes the final image into a unity from the relationship of the different forms to each other. Behind what we think we see, there is often something completely different.

The artist creates works in which shading contrasts, intense color choices and strict geometry meet.

Visualized composition of light and color

Valentina Andrees

Valentina Andrees grew up in the Ukraine. Today she lives and works in Hamburg and Sicily.

She discovered a new world of colors and shapes early on, which enabled her to express emotions on canvas. She mainly composes portraits of women and animals – with expressive intensity and technical clarity. The visualized composition of light and color lends the portraits a dramatic flair.

Her works inspire the viewer not only with expressive intensity and technical clarity, but also with a great deal of emotion. The protagonists of the works captivate their viewers above all with their expressive eyes. She is a member of the society of animal artists, has received several awards and presents her works worldwide.

Art & Sculptures

Nikolay Ninov

Nikolay Ninov was born in Bulgaria on July 11, 1986.
He developed a passion for painting and invention at a young age. His education has nothing to do with art, he graduated from Navel Architecture and Navigation Professional High School (2000-2005) and has worked as an electrician, diver and welder in several countries in search of his passion.

This diversity later helped him to turn his passion into a vocation and create such works of art and sculptures from metal and electronics.
He creates unique pieces that are fascinating in a different and personal way. He has already taken part in various exhibitions and competitions here in Germany as well as in Greece and Bulgaria.

Today, some of his works can be found with customers in Switzerland, France, Italy, Bulgaria, the Cayman Islands, England, Germany and Greece.
