Description
Elemental V- Fire and Air showing a unique dynamic interplay of shape, movement and colour. In her recent series Elemental Katja Wittmer has been incorporating sand, plaster, pastels and acrylics into her paintings to convey the connection to the four elements, focusing on the different dynamics of each element- water, earth, air and fire. Her technique incorporates dripping paint, thick textures and multi-layered colours. Katja Wittmer uses these materials to create many layers, covering and uncovering, offering a glimpse into what lingers underneath. Using this technique she creates unique works of abstract expressionism which challenge the boundaries of perception. Playing with form, texture and abstraction, Katja Wittmer develops the wonderful complexity of colour -in an interplay that extends through several layers, she achieves a unique and highly individual compositional power, creating her own unmistakable style of abstract modern art.
Presentation
I create Art to explore my own emotional abyss and through my work I encourage others to do the same. My paintings are multi layered, merging both abstract and figurative elements, with a strong emphasis on colour and how colour drives personal associations. The central theme in my work is "looking behind the curtain", as I am fascinated by the exploration of the hidden. I work with bold colours and strong textures to provoke movement, elicit mysticism, and engage the viewer's subconscious.
I work in acrylic and mixed media on Canvas and encaustic and oils on wood. My style is provocative and engaging. I create multiple layers and structures, suggesting movement and change.
In my paintings I explore the complex facets of humankind- highs and lows, light and shadows, beauty and distortion, love and hate.
