About
My works revolves around visions, ideas and emotions in past and presence in a figurative-abstract way. The human figure or landscapes often are my transmitting medium which I use in an abstract manner. In my pictorial presentation I search for freedom, lightness, liveliness and intensity. I work with strong oil colours applied layer by layer. I love the texture of oil and the depth of the space created. I like working with lines, sometimes condensed into drawings or writing, used as a sort of compass and structuring element. In the works submitted here I work with themes around the subject of water. I show the power and liveliness of water, its importance for our life and its ever refreshing nature.
Curator Review Honouring the Waters II
The blurred edges and almost turbulent aspect of this piece, calls to mind a rousing sea. Artist Petra Schott has thoughtfully composed a beautifully compelling work in masses of pastel color and neon sparks. Her painterly flourishes and stimulating gradients are deeply resonant and diffuse all tension. Schott’s energetic and enigmatic paintings, give the feeling of encompassing some flourishing truth. -E.E. Jacks
