Romana Meissner

I am a Czech-born and now Germany based painter.
In my works I explore the essence of what surrounds me: why do people act the way they do? What lies beneath the surface of what meets the eye? What are we driven by?
To express what I sense beneath the surface I feel drawn to different materials and a range of colours, which I apply in different layers on my canvases and papers, using a variety of techniques including scratching, brushing and printing.
This way expressive works are created, some reduced to basic expressions, others rich in colour and texture.
