Stefanie Thiele

I am an abstract painter from Germany. The excessive availability of information in the digital age and the constant comparison with our peers inspires me to create my works. We live in a world where everything seems to exist already, where everything has been done before by someone who did it better or faster than you. We are constantly made to feel that we are missing out on things. We are seduced to quick and thoughtless consumption. In this environment, it is no wonder that not only do we leave marks on earth, but our environment also leaves a mental mark on us.
The flood of visual and emotional stimuli and the resulting rollercoaster of emotions are presented on my canvases in the form of overloaded compositions. The variety of textures patterns and colours are all fighting for the viewers attention, trying to make their eyes linger for as long as possible.
The request to be more patient, resourceful and self-aware is reflected in the lengthy and repetitive nature of the process of my work. Nothing is wasted, neither an idea nor a material. I recycle my own thoughts and processes.
