Muttertag - Contemporary Painting by Barbara Schauß

"Muttertag" (Mother's Day) conveys the summery atmosphere of Mother's Day in a Mediterranean home. Irises dominate the composition. Created using a layered mixed-media technique, the piece has a beautiful tactile quality. It is a purely impressionistic subject. The side edges and back bear traces of the creative process, underscoring the work's originality.

Born in 1961 in Marktheidenfeld, Lower Franconia (Bavaria, Germany)

"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."
