AUTHENTICITY
All artworks on IdeelArt are original, signed, delivered directly from the artist's studio, and come with a certificate of authenticity.这件艺术作品是IdeelArt独家提供的。德国艺术家佩特拉·肖特利用色彩、线条和形状在画布上表达她的日常情感。在她的创作过程中，她将生活中的事件和对话进行处理，转化为视觉艺术。肖特受到自然和人形的启发，也受到音乐和气味的影响。尽管她尽量不过于追随自己的冲动，但她认为让直觉流动是很重要的。肖特主要使用蛋彩和颜料或油画在画布上创作。通过玩弄形状、事件、颜色和对话，肖特的作品受到内心对话的引导，这种对话在画布上变成了视觉现实。通过她的作品，肖特鼓励观众向内看，思考灵魂的问题。
Petra Schott is a German contemporary abstract painter based in Frankfurt. Her unique artistic journey represents a fascinating transition from law to fine art, embodying a rare combination of analytical thinking and artistic intuition. Her work oscillates between lyrical abstraction and subtle figuration, creating emotionally resonant pieces that invite viewers into spaces of imagination and introspection.
Education
After completing her second state examination in law, Schott pursued her artistic calling at the Art Academy (Kunsthochschule) in Kassel, Germany. This unconventional path, balancing her roles as a lawyer and judge while developing her artistic practice, contributed to her distinctive perspective in abstract art. In 2014, she made the decisive step to dedicate herself fully to her artistic career.
Technique
Schott's work blends lyrical abstraction with subtle figurative elements, employing a distinctive use of color that creates an interplay between comfort and longing. Her paintings demonstrate a masterful balance between spontaneity and control, often incorporating layers that reveal and conceal, creating depth and emotional resonance in her compositions.
Inspiration
Her work is deeply rooted in personal experience while exploring universal themes. Schott draws inspiration from everyday life, human relationships, and nature's intangible aspects. Her paintings reflect fundamental questions of life, investigating themes of nostalgia, fragility, sensitivity, and spirituality through abstract expression. Her artistic approach shows clear influences from Abstract Expressionism, particularly in her gestural freedom and emotional intensity, while maintaining her own contemporary voice. Like the Abstract Expressionists before her, Schott's work emphasizes the process of painting itself as a means of emotional and spiritual exploration, yet she brings her own unique perspective to this tradition through her distinctive use of color and layered compositions.
