CHRISTINE BATHELT

Abstract and Space Artist

About me

I paint colorful visions and exotic galaxies. I work intuitively and go wherever the process takes me. In my paintings I incorporate the very essentials of life itself: motion, power and the invigorating clash of light and dark.

Born in 1982 in Vienna, after training as an economist and discouraging experiences in the financial sector, I found in art an expression of my imagination and mental resilience.

Abstraction enables me to create in the ultimate state of freedom without any boundaries in regard to shapes and colors. I complement my abstract works with a subject that captivates me like no other: outer space. Although I am unable to physically travel to distant galaxies, I can open windows to fantastic and magical places in space through painting.

In art I’m fascinated by the unlimited creative freedom and also the craft itself which for me is inextricably linked to the creation of something new. Working with colors, textures and materials is a constant source of joy and inspiration for me. 

Most of my paintings are made with acrylic paints. Sometimes I also create artworks with different media such as collage elements, structure pastes, but always combined with acrylic colors.
