Angela Wichmann
What fascinates me is the effect of light in its many facets, so that it has become the dominant theme of my works.
Again and again I am drawn to it in order to bring it to bear on the canvas - a challenge that I face anew with every painting. My pictures usually appear without visual definition and hardly clearly outlined - the contours seem to blur. What they all have in common is the effect of depth, which is achieved through the spatial composition.
I am not a fast painter, I take my time - I let the picture work on me in order to recognize which colour and light settings correspond to my perception. I paint the different light intensities and reflections either in fine glazes or powerfully impasto. Starting from a sketch or photo, I approach my goal. This creates special perspectives that seem to be seen from afar. The most beautiful moment for me is in the final phase, when I create the brightest points of light. At this point, the picture begins to glow and unfold its full effect.
Each new work is an open experiment for me, a very personal journey.
