Artworks from Ute Kleist

An act of creation

Ute Kleist lives and works as a freelance artist in her hometown of Rostock. Her art oscillates between abstraction and figuration, whereby the transitions here can be experienced fluidly. Themes such as love and the connection between man and nature, living space, encounters, pulsating life, silence, the everyday and the special - everything that touches the soul makes its way onto paper and canvas. Predominantly large-format, multi-layered, colourful and expressive, Ute Kleist understands her art. And every now and then this desire arises to decolourise - in black and white - colours - conceivable and to be experienced in shades.

In acrylic, oil and mixed techniques with inks, pigments and shellac, her works are created in an intrinsic way, revealing her innermost being. For her, painting is an act of creation and an empathy with colour and the light that unfolds in colour. Her way of expressing herself and communicating non-verbally on canvas is to bring the unseen and unheard to experience as a show play. Her paintings are open to interpretation. Everyone may see what he likes to see.
