AUTHENTICITY
All artworks on IdeelArt are original, signed, delivered directly from the artist's studio, and come with a certificate of authenticity.這件藝術作品是IdeelArt獨家提供的。德國藝術家佩特拉·肖特（Petra Schott）利用顏色、線條和形狀在畫布上表達她的日常情感。在她的創作過程中，她將生活中的事件和對話進行處理，轉化為視覺藝術。肖特受到自然和人體的啟發，也受到音樂和氣味的影響。雖然她試圖不過於跟隨自己的衝動，但她認為讓直覺流動是很重要的。肖特主要使用蛋彩和顏料或油畫在畫布上創作。通過形狀、事件、顏色和對話的遊玩，肖特的作品受到內心對話的指引，成為畫布上的視覺現實。通過她的作品，肖特鼓勵觀眾向內探索，思考靈魂的問題。
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.
