I’m Sara Gruenbauer, a german self-taught artist with a passion for abstract art. I live and create art in Hamburg. The city where my passion began:

A few years ago, I moved from my hometown, to Hamburg. I wanted to design my apartment as individual and special as possible. So I started to design my own artworks. I wanted to create a special atmosphere through unique pieces, which nobody has. While creating the artworks, I realized how calming and meditative art is for me.

For me, art means freedom. Freedom in structures, shapes, surfaces, designs, colors and the moment to simply be able to be me and live in the moment. To create art allows me to express emotions without judgement. It’s a way to escape norms.

The fascinating about abstract art is not only the freedom while creating it; it also gives everybody the freedom to see different things and shapes in it. Abstract paintings affect each recipient differently, which always makes it an individual experience.

I’ve experienced some difficult parts in my life, where the creation of abstract art helped me to express myself. To do so,

I’m using different colours and shapes. So if you look at some of my artworks you will not just see a painting, you’ll see a part of myself.

“hephaistos” spreads warmth and danger at the same time. Love and fire. The art to fan the flames. The seething that is in me and probably in each of us. The volcano that is boiling up. I created it with acrylics on canvas. For the structure, I used coarse structure paste. (fun fact: a friend of mine see’s the shape of Santa Claus in it - like I said: abstract art is always an individual experience)

“pure” expresses another feeling. It stands for something new. For uncertain things and freshness. The feeling of first rays of sunshine in spring. It is the newborn, who discovers the world, valueless and curious. The pure silver foil adds a shine.

At the beginning of painting, I was often worried about what other people think of me doing art. “zorro” helped me to realize that it doesn’t matter. A fight for freedom and justice. A fight for love. For yourself.
