Antje's paintings show fresh, original, heartfelt work combined with an interesting technique. The use of gold media enhances her chosen subjects. The exquiste series - featuring musical themes, luminous flower studies on hand made rice paper, cats with a suggestion of art nouveau, chooks with 'attitude' and evocative fantasies - indicate the variety of her subjects.
You may ask yourself what attracts you to particular paintings: is it because the piece is well done, are the colours chosen to set the mood, or do they exhibit good composition? However, sometimes a painting makes you weak in the knees and you wish you could sit in front of it for a week.
A discerning viewer is aware of current trends in technique, style or subject and tries to discriminate between what is fresh and creative and what's merely copied from someone else's modus operandi. There is evidence of vision, creative growth and excitement in the work of this artist.
Originally from Germany, Antje has lived in Australia since childhood and currently lives in Geelong, Victoria.
