The Never Lost series consists of wall sculptures and three dimensional work that is reminiscent of eroded and weathered fragments of mountains. For this, she experimented with new materials and techniques that allowed her to create her own versions of an imagined world. In this, one can discover strong references to existing landscapes that Quinda previously visited, such as Utah and Iceland. Yet, her work retains a certain mystery, something intangible. The play of light on the curved, velvet-like structures creates an intriguing effect for the viewer. ‘Never Lost’ tells stories of unknown landscapes and lays bare some of the invisible processes that go into the alterations of landscapes in a very subtle way.

From the series Echoing Reflections
Discover Echoing Reflections, the latest sculptural series by artist Lisette Schumacher. This innovative collection pushes the boundaries of contemporary art, showcasing her mastery of new materials and experimental painting techniques. Each wall sculpture features two distinct images - one on each side - crafted with contrasting colours. When illuminated from above, these sculptures cast dynamic, mesmerising light patterns on surrounding walls, creating a striking visual experience. Perfect for modern interiors, these pieces expand on her acclaimed Spatial Reflection series.
Inspired by endless reflections of sunlight on glass and water, Lisette created Trailing Reflections during her 2022 residency in Los Angeles. While visiting the iconic Stahl House, a mid-century modern masterpiece designed by Buck Stahl and Pierre Koenig, she was captivated by its serene beauty and architectural brilliance. The interplay of sunlight and pool water reflected in the home's glass facades became the core inspiration for this series.
Lisette’s carefully curated colour palette - drawn from the local rocks, succulents, interiors, and the pool - infuses each sculpture with the essence of Los Angeles. Her work pays homage to the Stahl House, a celebrated symbol of modern architecture.
