Detailed description
Picture "in shallow water" (2023)
I am always fascinated by herons. As soon as I see one of these birds, I stop and watch you. They look noble and elegant with their upright gait, delicate long neck and long pointed beak. Through a deliberate blurring the contours in the picture, the heron becomes one with its surroundings, wind and movement can be felt. The picture is signed on the back. The side edges have a warm yellow tone.
About Anja Struck
Born in 1961 in Hamburg, I studied free painting under Prof.
Harald Duwe at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts Kiel. This was followed by art education in Lüneburg and graphic and design in Hamburg. Later, a two-year study with Prof. Markus Lüpertz at the Art Academy Bad Reichenhall was added.
In 2013 I received the cultural promotion award of the district of Lüneburg. My works can be seen at numerous exhibitions at home and abroad.
Abroad: including America (New York, Miami,Pennsylvania), China (Beijing), Italy(Veneidig), Poland (Katowice), Östereich, Switzerland, Dänemerk
Germany: Munich, Isny, Stuttgart, Bad Reichenhall, Berlin, Weilburg, Hilden, Dorsten, Detmold, Hanover, Stade, Hamburg, Lüneburg, Kiel, etc.
I live and work in Lüneburg. My studio is in a former distillery, built in 1856.
Man and landscape come together in my works to form an overall composition. The play of light and shadow creates liveliness. The dissolution of boundaries, the blurring of motifs and the emergence of blur gives the images something mysterious, it awakens memories and seduces the viewer to dream. This is further supported by a color choice of rather muted, soft colors.
As a North German, I love the sea. In numerous works it finds itself thematically again. It creates images with great atmospheric density.
