SABINE FINKENAUER

Perhaps the painter has changed to continue playing differently with forms, and to make it clear that her previous work was also a happy and a serious game of forms. Even in this, this Bavarian artist remembers Paul Klee, and I am not saying that she imitates him, but that they are soul mates. In any case, their vision of the world and their conception of artistic creation are very similar. Like Klee, Finkenauer knows how to combine her plastic and musical knowledge to compose a successful kind of paramusical abstraction, and she does so without renouncing the poetic recreation of visible forms, the celebration of nature, including human nature. And like Klee, he manages to reconcile lucidity and tenderness, rigor and freedom, humor and poetry.

In her paintings she uses acrylic, gouache and pencil to compose abstract architectural landscapes and chromatic compositions. Despite appearances, we are faced with the same minimalist and warm poetics that was present in series between figurative and abstract as those starring flowers and girls with empty faces, like a field of color after Rothko.
