Katja Vollmer

I am an artist living in Germany. Most of my artworks are made with this art material - watercolor paints and 100% cotton paper. I use also charcoal, gouache and mixed media materials.
I love to travel, be inspired and convey my impressions and emotions through my paintings. Cities and architecture, seas, interesting and unique things - all this resonates in my works. I would like to share my experiences and love of art with the people around me. Watercolor is the art material closest to me and has a special character. It requires patience and quick decisions, corrections are almost impossible. Watercolor is a medium that you can't control, but you can make friends with it if you practice constantly. It is very important for me to tell a story with each painting, to convey the emotions and feelings of that moment, to show my perception, to invite the viewer to see the world as I see it. I like to interpret reality, use different contrast techniques and light effects.
