Nancy Marisa Arlt

Born 1978 in Berlin/Germany, I was raised in a city, divided by a wall and having experienced both sides before and after the fall of the Berlin wall, my art is heavily influenced by the city‘s new-found sense of freedom, a spirit of unlimited possibilities and a feeling of former restrictions rupturing, leading to limitlessness. And that‘s exactly what art is to me, limitlessness, disturbance, feeling.
I want people to see what they feel by breaking open familiar images into the abstract to provoke inner emotions. My paintings are expeditions into inner landscapes, creating an echo inside the observer, reflecting a part of their identity.
