Angela Wichmann

Light is my Story
To find a special atmosphere is my favorite task in my Paintings.
I catch the light from nightly street views with only schemes of the buildings and the street, but colorful bright lights.
There are no peoples to see, but you can feel there is a lot of life and the lights shining in smooth forms and reflecting on the ground. If I start a painting I have a feeling in my mind:
Do you now the special atmosphere in summertime: a warm evening , you are out in town, sitting or walking outside after a short rain? The lights are reflecting in the darkness on the street and There is a special smell in the Air, that is called petrichor.
That’s what I like to catch in my paintings.
I am fascinated from the citylights, witch are so smooth when they are far away. There are a lot of light dots shining. Its this feeling what I take to transport to the canvas with bright colors.
Mostly I use oils. They are so creamy and in an experimental way I found my own technic with them.

Angela Wichmann was born in Berlin, Germany. Since her early childhood she learned how to paint with oils. Fascinated to the opportunities of this medium she worked on it her whole life. After education as a technical drawer she studied in Berlin.
Through her travel around the world especially the Asian and American culture inspires and influence her. Since 2002 she worked as an artist in her own studio near Berlin, Germany. Angela Wichmann lives and works in Berlin and where ever she travels.
