Nina Urlichs

Her experience working with the “new figuration” movement in Germany opened her to the sensitivity and expression found within the gestures of the human body. Finding inspiration in dance and theater, Nina has created her own visual language of abstract calligraphy in order to capture the expressive nature of the human figure. Her work is based on the philosophy of a perpetual life cycle, characterized by an incessant appearance and disappearance. For this reason, faded traces of paintings, destroyed collages, and washed out colors on transparent canvas or paper are heavily used within her artworks. The lightness of these materials matches perfectly in her search of light and depth creation within the layers. Through the creation process she explores the relationship between the intimate universe and the human body.

Shortly upon graduating with a degree in fashion design, she turned toward the visual arts as a more appropriate means through which to continue and strengthen her research in body expressions. After following differnt workshops and studies of Art in Paris, Hambourg and Salzbourg she startet her caréer as an independent artist in 2002
