Detailed description

Picture "Water frogs" (2019)

When it finally gets warmer in early spring and it is not too dry, the amphibians make their way to their spawning waters. If you are lucky, you will meet them there in large numbers, often between already spawned egg balls. They are most likely to be spotted in the dark, often with the help of a flashlight. That's how this rather dark picture with the brightly lit frogs came about. I worked on this motif for over four years; there are five stages, all of which were once considered "completed" and some of which were even exhibited. After a final attempt in the winter of 2024, I am now really satisfied. Water frogs in a nocturnal spawning community. How beautiful! Signed and dated.

About Kirsten Treis

Under the brushes of Bonn painter Kirsten Treis, colorful pictures of nature and landscape are created.
Works from the "Water Worlds" series are presented here. Fleeting everyday moments form the basis of her lively works. Leaves swirl in the water, frogs gather for a magnificent concert or small whirlpools become large waves. The pictures are sometimes representational, sometimes abstract, sometimes lifelike, sometimes more composed. Above all, they encourage you to look closely. Because these pictures are only clear at first glance. Again and again, Kirsten Treis captures the seemingly incidental and uses it to create new focal points. She is fascinated by the beauty of the moment, when light conjures up sunspots and the trivial suddenly comes into focus. The painter appreciates the light, watercolor-like quality of acrylic paint and plays with the alternation between image and abstraction. The painter donates 3% from the sale of her paintings to nature conservation projects.
