Dörte Grand

I live with my family in Hamburg. We love being near the water and often spend time by the sea – an endless source of inspiration and a recurring motif in my work.

I love painting and creatively exploring new motifs. The time I spend painting is incredibly valuable to me. I feel nothing but the image, the colors, the harmony, and the atmosphere that unfolds. Sometimes I have a clear idea in my head – and I'm surprised by what emerges on the canvas.

I would describe my acrylic paintings as diverse, vibrant, and atmospheric. I enjoy leaving room for the viewer to form their own interpretation. Everyone sees a painting differently and experiences their own emotions while looking at it.

I have been painting for a little over ten years, whenever I find the time and space for it. I experiment with techniques and materials, have studied the basics at an art academy, and regularly attend workshops. This helps me grow artistically and incorporate new elements into my work. Over time, I have developed my own personal technique – a blend of all these experiences.

In my personal environment, my paintings have found enthusiastic viewers and buyers. Now, I am taking the next step and presenting my work to the public. The invitation to exhibit at Art Nou 277 has inspired me to showcase two of my paintings as a newcomer.

I'm excited to experience this opportunity as an artist!
