Landscape Painter Christine Meinhold
Berlin-born artist Christine Meinhold is bursting with creative energy. In her works, she tirelessly devotes herself in particular to the natural world that surrounds us. In doing so, she abstracts impressive landscape impressions in a fragile way, while also touching on floral themes and her typical timeless still life.
"Although my works reflect a part of the nature I have seen and experienced, I translate what I have seen in the way it affects me, without reducing the power and originality of my environment."
In abstraction, Christine Meinhold unfolds her intuitive power, her spontaneity and her emotion without committing the viewer to a specific detail. She often creates landscapes, predominantly with wide horizons. She breaks up the tranquillity of the image with lines that both divide and connect. Her works symbolize the search for traces, conveying balance and versatility as well as substantial stillness.
Using acrylic paints and inks, she creates powerful, expressive subjects, expressionist paintings worked with a brush or palette knife, which transport the viewer into a world of their own, full of fantasy. The boundaries between abstraction and figuration are often blurred. By deliberately omitting details, she aims to draw attention to the naturalness of nature and its power to overcome negative influences.
