Encaustic on Wood, framed in white wooden frame, modern art.

I have been exploring the ancient medium of encaustic, where beeswax and resin are melted, coloured with pigment, and then solidified again. This exciting medium offers a huge element of spontaneity, and challenges the artist in merging the different wax layers in a controlled way. The various layers create an intriguing depth and luminosity for the viewer to explore.

In her authentic abstract  paintings, Katja Wittmer emphasises the hidden, the subtle, the profound. Her technique of dripping paint, scattering textures and the use of intense colour accentuate the volatility of the moment. ​Her paintings are multi-layered and offer various dimensions which challenge the boundaries of perception. The artist creates conscious abstractions that encourage a subtle, often colour geared stimulation of personal associations. Katja Wittmer's work aims at altering the awareness of the individual's emotional consciousness through conceptual dialogue with  the physical painting. In her paintings the artist shows the complex facets of humankind – highs and lows, light and shadow, beauty and distortion, love and hate. Katja Wittmer's art deals with looking behind the scenes and exploring the emotional abyss.
