Balticsea / Elmelund / Ærø Print

Ute Meyer, born December 1957 visual artist since 1999 studio in Flensburg "Painting is an expression of my joy of life and my curiosity to discover." My painting reflects my zest for life and my constant curiosity for discovery. I particularly focus on plein air painting, whether in my own garden or on the picturesque coastline of the Danish Baltic Sea. Over the years, I have developed an working method outdoors that allows me to complete large-scale canvases in a single pass, capturing the unique mood of the day. The constantly changing weather conditions and the play of light influence my painting process, slowing it down or speeding it up. Other series of works are created in the studio, including macro studies of the beach and depictions of people and animals in the landscape. In my abstract painting, experiences from my daily life serve as starting points. I use various means of expression such as oil on canvas or wood, pen and wash drawings and watercolors.
