Artworks and Collages

Edeltraud explores the interplay of colors, various structures and materials on her canvases, creating unique artworks in an abstract-expressive style in which one can feel her passionate emotions. Edeltraud’s passion for creating atmospheric art is reflected in her creative expression. Her varied oeuvre is also conveyed through abstract-geometric compositions characterized by vivid colors.

Her work focuses on the creative act and the joy of exploring her creative potential and going her own way in painting. Dealing with color and developing her own design language play important roles. She prefers many detailed subtleties imbued with unique harmony.

Staged coincidence paired with the joy of experimentation create fragrant to powerful and very individual compositions, which are brought into an aesthetically refined form through structuring and, last but not least, mastery of the material. Her pictures are composed of strong colors and materials such as paper, cardboard, newspaper clippings, photos, pictures or fabric.

Love, emotions, passionate themes and colors

Love is a very powerful emotion and probably as difficult to define as art. Since ancient times love has been the most important source of inspiration for art, including Edeltraud. The themes for her pictures and collages – also executed with a lot of love – are mostly emotions and moods. Passion, courage to use color and skill are reflected in their detailed and precisely crafted unique pieces.

Edeltraud’s paintings are in prestigious private collections in Europe.
