Suraya Baumeister

With my art I want to make you smile. My paintings radiate joy and ease. Together with the stories I write for the big formats they stimulate your fantasy and invite you to step into my playful world.

(Mit meiner Kunst möchte ich Sie zum Lächeln bringen. Meine Bilder strahlen Freude und Leichtigkeit aus. Zusammen mit den Geschichten, die ich für die großen Formate schreibe, regen sie Ihre Fantasie an und laden Sie ein, in meine spielerische Welt einzutreten.)

Hello, I am Suraya Baumeister, born and raised in Heidelberg (Germany) in 1976. I studied landscape architecture in Kassel and Palermo and after living in Karlsruhe for a few years, I moved to Switzerland, to Lake Maggiore in 2010.

During my studies (1997-2004) I started to paint abstract, preferably with a spatula. My individual painting style started to form in 2017.

The abstract paintings I do are acrylic/mixed media on canvas. I paint them intuitively. Through the abstract painting I get inspired to draw the faces, figures, mythical creatures and elements.

What stories do you see in the paintings?

2006-2007 Formation as a Feng Shui consultant
2002-2003 Study of landscape architecture at the University in Palermo, Italy
1997-2004 Study of landscape architecture at the University in Kassel, Germany
1995-2004 various painting and drawing courses with an artist in Weinheim and at the University Kassel
