birgit huttemann-holz

Birgit’s energetic works show a lush world, where nature is in constant celebration. Orchids, verdant gardens, and imaginary spaces become synonym with sanctuaries. Deeply inspired by the beauty of flowers and landscapes, Huttemann-Holz pushes her subject to a place of gestural abstraction with sweeping gestures, layering curves, and punctuating forms of saturated tones.

She employs a myriad of media, including encaustic, oil, acrylic, encaustic monotype and even throwing and painting ceramics.

Birgit Huttemann-Holz depicts both her vision and feeling of a world where beauty and vulnerability are the touching keystones.
