Purple Rain - Contemporary Painting by Barbara Schauß

This painting alludes to the song "Purple Rain" by Prince. Working in the style of Abstract Expressionism, the artist chose a violet color palette inspired by listening to the track simultaneously. The painting was created using acrylics, working in multiple layers, resulting in a beautiful sense of depth. The painting is unframed but ready to hang. The edges show traces of the painting process.

"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."
