In große Freiheit, Vera Klaus brings together an abundance of colour, materials and spontaneous gestures across a warm, open background. Fluorescent pinks, orange drips, deep greens and soft violet marks appear alongside fine lines, splashes and loosely drawn forms. Rather than directing the eye towards a single focal point, the large vertical composition invites it to move freely between small details and broader fields of colour.

The painting reflects Klaus’s intuitive and physical working process. Each mark responds to what is already present, gradually creating a layered visual rhythm that feels energetic yet spacious. At 180 × 120 cm, große Freiheit has a strong physical presence, while its playful details reward closer viewing.

Vera Klaus creates contemporary abstract paintings through an intuitive and physical process. Working with pastel chalk and water, she builds layered, gestural compositions in which colour, movement and texture are closely connected. Music plays an important role in her practice, helping her to let go of her surroundings and become fully immersed in the present moment. Her latest colourful paintings introduce pink and blue undertones, marking a new step in her ongoing exploration of pastel and water. The resulting abstract works convey strength, vitality and joy, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in their expressive colours, subtle details and shifting nuances.

Dreams and Hope marks a new direction in the work of Vera Klaus. Across a soft pink ground, recurring arched forms appear like mountains, shelters or elements from an imagined landscape. Deep blue, vivid red, yellow and earthy green are layered through translucent washes, drawn contours and tactile marks.

While Klaus’s earlier paintings were often led by spontaneous gestures, this work introduces a more deliberate visual language. The repeated forms gather, overlap and disperse across the canvas, creating a rhythm that moves between drawing and painting, structure and intuition.

From the series Painting as screen

With Sudden Flare of Interest, Donald Schenkel continues his exploration of colour as an autonomous element. Built up through numerous layers of oil paint, the composition unfolds gradually, moving from deep blue tones towards a luminous centre of warm orange and white. The painting evokes associations with landscapes, reflections or shifting skies, yet remains firmly rooted in abstraction.

Rather than depicting a specific place, Schenkel creates a space in which atmosphere and perception take centre stage. The slow process of layering and refinement gives the surface depth and subtle complexity, rewarding prolonged viewing. The result is a painting that changes with the surrounding light and invites contemplation without imposing a fixed interpretation.

Morgens Am See (Morning at the Lake) is a large abstract painting by contemporary artist Vera Klaus, created in 2026. The work is executed in mixed media on canvas and presented in a wooden floater frame.

Vera Klaus’s work often centres on the quiet intensity of small, fleeting moments. Rather than depicting a specific landscape or memory, her paintings build an atmosphere through colour, rhythm and layered gestures. In Morgens Am See, soft transitions and subtle contrasts create a sense of openness and stillness, recalling the experience of early morning light reflected on water.

The composition balances broad colour fields with more delicate passages of paint, allowing the surface to remain active without becoming overwhelming. From a distance, the painting reads as calm and expansive; up close, the layered marks and material traces reveal the artist’s process.

Through this approach, Vera Klaus creates works that invite sustained looking. The painting offers both visual clarity and depth, making it well suited for contemporary interiors where colour, light and space interact with the artwork throughout the day.

From the series View On Sunset

The View on Sunset series reflects Lisette Schumacher’s ongoing exploration of mid-century modern architecture and the specific quality of light found in Los Angeles at dusk. Rather than translating architecture as a fixed image, Schumacher approaches each site as a lived experience, one that is first felt physically before it is understood intellectually.
By moving through a building repeatedly, observing shifts in light, rhythm and material, Schumacher absorbs the atmosphere of a place. This embodied experience is combined with historical research into the site and its architect, followed by an intensive investigation of colour, surface and technique. The resulting works do not depict architecture directly, but translate its presence into layered compositions and subtle colour transitions.
In this work, soft blues, pale yellows and warm earth tones flow across the surface, echoing reflections of sky and structure as daylight fades. The composition remains open and spacious, inviting slow looking and allowing the work to change with its surroundings, much like the architecture that inspired it.

From the series View On Sunset

The View on Sunset series reflects Lisette Schumacher’s deep connection with mid-century modern architecture and the captivating sunsets of Los Angeles. Lisette’s interest lies in the idea that architecture engenders a basic physical experience prior to also initiating an intellectual interpretation. By observing the location intensely and moving through each room repeatedly, she can both experience the space in a physical way and interpret it intellectually. After studying the site's history and architect, a period of in-depth research into technique, material and colour schemes follows. This results in a series of works that reflect on the site's atmosphere, history and its design.

From the series Novel Trailing Reflections

Endless reflections of sun on glass and water were the starting points to create Lisette Schumacher’s Trailing Reflections series. During her residency in Los Angeles (April – May 2022) she visited The Stahl House, located in the Hollywood Hills. It was designed by Buck Stahl and Pierre Koenig in 1959-60. She was stunned by the pure beauty and tranquility of the Stahl House. During her stay, Lisette noticed an intriguing play of reflections in the glass facades of the home, caused by the water of the swimming pool and the reflections of the sun. She wanted to create a body of work that would visualize her observations and bring an ode to the family home, built from glass and steel. The Stahl House has become the figurehead of modern architecture in Los Angeles. She picked the color palette based on the local rocks, succulents, interior and the swimming pool.

With a background in graffiti and graphic design, Saïd Kinos developed a fascination for typography and various forms of visual communication. He equates the visual experience with language with the functional aspect and is a great advocate of 'post-typography' as an art movement. More specifically, he uses language as a vehicle to explore form, colour and different artistic methods.

Saïd finds an element of abstraction in the subjective associations and differing contexts that can alter the reception of words and messages. Even though the words that can be read share a collective meaning, the mental image that arises when looking at his work will be different for everyone. The interpretation of his textual works are therefore similar to that of abstract art. He explores this element of abstraction through vibrant colour combinations and fragmented typography. Taking visual elements from anywhere he can find and recomposing them in a way to make them his own, Saïd creates his own reconstructed versions of reality
