Uta Oesterheld-Petry

On the one hand, I am interested in the external appearance of the world with its forms, structures, proportions and colors. On the other hand, attention to the inner worlds, interest in the invisible nature of things is another source of my artistic creativity. I try to bring both together in my work.
Art is a way of communicating my personal view of the world and life.

I work with egg-oil tempera as well as with oil and acrylic paints. Drawing is essential for me as a background for the painting process. In the painterly implementation, the representational sometimes remains clearly recognizable, in other works it detaches itself from the concrete.
In addition to my focus on painting, I use various classic and experimental printmaking techniques.
In addition to the visual works, I have created a number of installations and objects.
