Ellen Frischbutter, Germany, Leipzig.

I came to painting not through technique, but through inner vision. For many years I worked as a psychologist and mandalotherapist, helping people to express what is difficult to put into words - through color, form, brush movement. I could feel the images, as if the body could hear the soul - and I just trusted.

Gradually I started to paint more on my own. First, mandalas in watercolor. Then acrylics. And then oil came into my life - like a living, deep watercolor that you can talk to for a long time. I fell in love.

Paintings began to be born from within, from feelings, from silence. I couldn't part with them for a long time, but then I felt that they needed to go out into the world. That's how my first sales began.

Over time, I was trained, participated in art projects, and studied myself. So I gradually became an artist. And now I paint not only from myself, but also from personal stories - from memories, feelings, dreams.

I haven't left psychology - it's still in me. It's just that now I speak through colors. My task is to feel, to hear and to give it form. In light, in color, in the breath of the painting.

Learned to paint privately from contemporary artists.

Since 2018, I have participated every year in Art Night in Leipzig, Germany.
