About the Artist

German artist Sieglinde Scharf employs her own unique technique to create abstract geometric paintings that read anew every time you view them. She begins by giving herself a rough pattern to follow, then allows her creativity to reign free, guided by her own intuition. Scharf works mostly with metallic-colored acrylic gels on colorfully primed linen. The results vary according to the time of day she paints ー whether in natural or artificial light ーproducing works that surprise as much as they intrigue. Her meditative process produces a planet of circles in “n. T. 28”, a warped checkerboard in “n. T. 02” and a spiral waves in “n. T. 05”.

Wanting to be as little influenced by the outside world as possible, Scharf has not attended a class or course in the 25 years that she has been painting. The self-taught artist has instead spent her time refining her technique, which she describes as continually evolving. Scharf lives in Landshut, Germany where she wants to devote herself completely to her artistic work.
