Blue Dream Print

Hello, my name is Sophie and I am a 22 year old girl from southern Germany. I am a self taught artist, currently working as an optican, making and selling glasses. Art plays a very special role in my life, it allows me to express my feelings and thoughts in a distinctive way and be mentally free. With my work I want to arouse emotions, transmit messages and let the viewer dive into a mystic world - sometimes dark and dramatic, sometimes bright, often colorful and vivid. I want to create individual and special artworks that sink deeply into the viewers minds and let them form their own and personal interpretations. I am always curious to try different techniques and passionate about constantly improving my skills. My influences include Franz Marc, Wassily Kandisky, Max Ernst and Fritz Winter. Currently, I work a lot with acrylic fluid pouring, a technique where the paint is allowed to move freely and create random patterns and shapes. There is a vast number of variables that allow to influence the outcome, however some effects are mostly unpredictable. Consequently, each artwork is totally unique. Parameters like the colors and additives you choose, how you mix and pour them, etc. are set beforehand, but many decisions have to be made spontaneously, depending on how the random patterns evolve. It feels a bit like a game, where you look at what chance gives you and react accordingly. Partly you get inspired by chance, partly you try to push the outcome into a certain direction, to align with the picture in your mind and what you want to express. Many of my paintings contain fluorescent neon colors, which gives them a different, fascinating look when viewed in black light. New details show up, others disappear. I hope you enjoy looking through my artworks. Let your fantasy take over, watch the details and create your own world! I want to invite you into my dream, a dream of acrylics on canvas.
