Collection: Ingeborg Herckenrath

Ingeborg Herckenrath (1970) is a contemporary artist with a graphic background. Ingeborg uses bright colours of paint with her own painting technique with which she creates artistic works of art. Aesthetics and beauty are central to this. In addition to brushes, she also uses other tools and materials to process the paint. The enrichment of colours is not limited by the surfaces of the shapes. This creates a strong visually dynamic image. Ingeborg likes to paint on large formats up to 200cm x 200cm for example. 

Artist's statement 

"I have a great passion for color, design and artistic designs. From a young age I had the urge to express myself creatively. I like to work intuitively and like to experiment. First I make a plan and composition, then I let the paint do its thing. Each work therefore gets a unique application of technique, but always in harmony with what it should radiate. In combination with my preparatory work this gives spontaneity on the one hand and accuracy on the other. In my large portraits I leave out recognizable lines, so that only color and shape remain. This creates large abstract parts. In the whole I look for positive emotion and energy that touches me. 

The large size of my paintings provides a strong expressiveness in the spaces where they hang. Travel, people, nature and other cultures inspire me, I also process this in my abstract works. The alternation of people and nature gives me daily inspiration and drive to give shape to this in my studio. Ideas keep bubbling in my head and I constantly feel the need to work them out."
