Daniela Schweinsberg

Abstract, Powerful, Gestural - three words to describe my art! Each of my artworks is truly unique and only one of its kind.

MY ARTIST STATEMENT:
"An abstract painting challenges the artist even more, because it’s an act of creation on the artist's own terms."

MY INSPIRATION:
I find my inspirations in colours and materials - for example in a beautiful deep turquoise mountain lake or in the washed-out grey of concrete in a city. Based on such impressions and inspirations I commence my work and my artwork often comes to life in little series. Each painting is unique and the creation and development of each painting can be a time consuming process, usually lasting many days or weeks and in some cases up to a few months.

MY TECHNIQUES:
I appreciate the manual work of building, stretching and priming my own frames. I really get engrossed in this, it’s the first encounter with a new work and a good start for the creative process; me and the canvas did get familiar with each other.

My paintings are acrylic mix paintings, for example, acrylic paint with charcoal, oil pastels, pencils, spray paint and many other artistic materials. Sometimes I combine these materials with collage materials.

My pieces of art are created informally. Each step builds on the previous step, leaving room for chance but also for corrections and erasures, until the final finished artwork has evolved as a composition of colour, shape, texture and surface.

Each piece of art is truly unique and only one of its kind.
