- Recent Works by Christiane Middendorf
- Christiane was born in Essen Germany in 1961 and has exhibited in Germany, the Netherlands and Austria. Christiane works in abstracts. Art Works welcomes the chance to provide Richmond with the opportunity to see Christiane's work. Here is what she has to say about her work.
-
"Art is never the same, it is always different. For me, it is an expression of emotions, experiences, relationships, encounters with other persons, dreams, thoughts, fears, pain, desires, lust, chance and/or oppressions. Nevertheless, my art doesn't loose itself in a diffuse atmosphere. I try to give it an easy recognizable form that makes it unmistakable and hence a part of myself. The abstraction enables me to move freely within the given conditions."
