Carita Schmidt

About Carita Schmidt

Carita Schmidt is a Berlin-based visual artist and art mentor whose abstract work explores the interplay of movement, light, and identity. Born in Güstrow, Germany, and shaped by life across Finland, Sweden, Greece, and both East and West Germany, her multicultural perspective informs a visual language rooted in transformation and reflection.

Educated at the Dramatiska Institutet in Stockholm (BFA, 1983–86), Schmidt held her first solo exhibition in 1991 in Kavala, Greece. Since then, she has presented 16 solo exhibitions and participated in over 70 group shows across Europe and the U.S. Her work is held in both private and public collections, including the Graphothek Berlin, the Vafopoulio Cultural Center in Thessaloniki, and the Art Gallery MAGIC MOUNTAIN, Château Nico Lazaridi in Drama, Greece.

Schmidt’s abstractions are characterized by layered lines—looping like strands of DNA or dissolving into veils of light—that generate fluid visual fields. In series like Frequencies, she reduces each composition to its essentials, capturing the ephemeral nature of Mediterranean light and the rhythms of inner perception.
