Marion Zimmermann

Born in Luebeck, Germany. My whole live Im living in cities and I like the positive, active energy of a metropolis which I want to show in my paintings.My style of painting developed through several phrases. Starting with pencil-drawings it changed from using aquarelle to oil and acrylic. The realistic reproduction turned to concrete and abstract figure.My favorite intention is to show the atmosphere of modern streetlife in bright, lively colours like modern expressionism.In the citiscapes I try to capture the speed and hectic in a dynamic style of painting - everything in movement.I want to underline the unromantic citylife of today with concrete strokes and clear colourtones without a soft colourtransition. The last years I paint with acrylic over digital manipulated photographies, which I had made in the cities. They are printed on canvas. I like the fascinating contrast of print and paint mixture.

After school and study in the hometown, living in Hamburg.
