LEMON SPRITZ - Yellow Contemporary Painting by Barbara Schauß

For the painting "LEMON SPRITZ," the artist drew inspiration from the Japanese action painting of Kazuo Shiraga. The title came to her spontaneously during the multi-layered painting process, an allusion to a refreshing, sparkling summer drink. The painting radiates an immense sense of lightness and positivity. Created using a mixed-media technique involving numerous layers, it possesses a beautiful, tactile quality. It can also be displayed horizontally. The artwork is unframed but ready to hang. It is signed on the side and on the back.

Born in 1961 in Marktheidenfeld, Lower Franconia (Bavaria, Germany)
Living in Monsheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, since 1990

"My artistic roots lie in Impressionism. I have been particularly influenced by the French Impressionists. Nature is my greatest source of inspiration. Today, my work can be viewed as a journey "from Impressionism to Abstraction." Representational and abstract painting now play an equally important role in my artistic practice.

I work primarily with oil, acrylic, and mixed media in a variety of formats. My creative process is characterized by both spontaneous painting and elaborate, multi-layered compositions that evolve through numerous layers.

I began exhibiting my work 20 years ago. Today, my paintings can be found in collections around the world."
