"QUEEN IN GOLD" Fine Art Print

Doris studied Art and Design at the prestigious Royal College of Art in London and the Bauhaus Art colleges
in Berlin and Braunschweig.
The "return to the craft" and the clash of
artistic trends such as Expressionism, Dadaism, and Constructivism
which she experienced in these environments influenced her work. The
Vienna Secession artists Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele also had an
impact. Her later studies at the Royal College of Art in London, where
she gained a MA in Fashion Design led Doris to a more reduced and
minimalistic illustration style.

“I am fascinated when drawing the human figure, dressed, semi-nude or
undressed. As a fashion designer I always had a passion for designing
and drawing fabrics, textures, impressive sculptural garments, and
costumes. I am interested in the emotions and moods one can create
with the body, postures and Its coverings. Humans express so much of
their inner world through their outer appearance.
Drawing is for me a meditation. When I draw, I enter another
universe, totally absorbed in what I do in the moment. I am drawing
as an emotional outlet, out of sheer joy and passion."

Doris worked as a senior designer and illustrator on projects with prestigious fashion brands such as Burberry, Max Mara, Mc Queen, Lanvin, Nina Ricci, Martin Margiela.
Beside her work as a designer and illustrator, she has been teaching fashion drawing and collection development as professor at the Bauhaus Kunsthochschule Berlin, Design University Munich, Lette Verein and Esmod Berlin and Design Fachhochschule Dresden.
