Petra Penz

Petra Penz uses the whole span of tonal values and develops a colorful and achromatic language. Vast oceans and streams, whole worlds are formed – bonded in small, formal flats and free lakes of color. A seamless dialogue of counterparts opens up issues of the time and unfurls in pictural answers. From there, freedom results enabling the artist to seize new possibilities of painting without given concepts.

Painting for her is freedom, inspiration of others and answering actual questions within the abstractness of color and composition.


Especially because of her fierceness and often objective blur, Petra is a wanderer between the worlds.
