Marita Tobner - discover artworks

Tobner does not see herself as a classical painter, her invigorating painting opens up much more to the viewer: in her works she plays with the visible and the hidden at the same time. She combines floral elements with figurative ones and thus creates a lifelike, mostly colour-intensive picture composition.  Her style is unmistakable: Draconic and in perfect composition, she directs the viewer's gaze to manifold aspects of human existence, their nature and their interconnections and contradictions to and among each other. This view of the origin of her creative points connects many of her works. All motifs live from the unique depiction of an instinctive controversy between calm and dynamism.

The mixture of formal perfection and seemingly pure elegance as well as a pronounced love of painting characterise the works of the artist Marita Tobner. Thus, the painter creates snapshots against the background of the insights she has gained into everyday life; she skilfully combines trivial things into entirely new arrangements of her own.Marita Tobner, born in 1961, lives and works as a freelance artist in Ulm.
