Ingeborg Herckenrath

Ingeborg Herckenrath (born 1970) is a contemporary artist with a graphic background. Ingeborg uses bright paint colors with her own painting technique to create artistic artworks. Aesthetics and beauty are central to this. In addition to brushes, she also uses other tools and materials to process the paint. The richness of colors is not limited by the planes of the forms. This creates a strong visual dynamic image. Ingeborg likes to paint on large formats up to, for example, 200 cm x 200 cm. 

Ingeborg is successfully represented by galleries at home and abroad. Her paintings are owned by collectors in the USA, Australia, France, Norway, UK, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands. 

Artist statement 

"I have a great passion for color, design, and artistic creations. From a young age, I felt the urge to express myself creatively. I enjoy working intuitively and experimenting. First, I create a plan and composition, then I let the paint take its course. Each work thus acquires a unique application of technique, but always in harmony with what it should express. In combination with my preparatory work, this provides both spontaneity and precision. In my large portraits, I omit recognizable lines, leaving only color and form. This creates large abstract sections. Overall, I seek positive emotion and energy that touches me. 

The large format of my paintings provides a strong expressive power in the spaces where they hang. Travel, people, nature, and other cultures inspire me; I also incorporate this into my abstract works. The interplay of people and nature gives me daily inspiration and drive to shape this in my studio. Ideas keep bubbling in my mind, and I constantly feel the need to elaborate on them."
