- Dagmar Wankowski
German painter Dagmar Wankowski's euphoric abstract canvases are a vibrantly blended example of the process-led abstraction that resonates with her international audience, brimming with visceral scrawled textures and the residue of monochromatic patterns and spontaneous drawing. Wankowski incorporates form, with mixed media and an exotic color palette, often to very vibrant results. Figurative elements drip, and earthy images appear, then melt away, in both her biological and conceptual galactic abstracts. Her canvases burst with energetic brushstrokes, giving her viewers a veritable buffet of gradient strokes to interlace colors and blend so seamlessly. Inwardly these abstract paintings could be reflective of chaos and harmony.
“I have been working as a movie editor for many years. Speaking with pictures was my everyday business. More than ten years ago, I started my artistic career. I was fascinated by some famous worldwide known painters like Claude Monet or Vincent Van Gogh and the light of Mr. Turner. I remembered that as a child, I tried to paint some flowers, and it didn‘t work the way I expected. As an adult, I felt I have to try this again. Whenever I see a person looking at the paintings and dreaming away in thoughts, I think this is the best a painter can do. Show others the beauty and the problems that we are faced with on earth today.”
