Collection: Petra Schott

 Petra Schott is an abstract painter whose art revolves around states of mind, longings, and memories.

After completing her studies in Fine Art at the Art Academy in Kassel in 1982, she dedicated herself to making art and has, since then, attracted the attention of national and international galleries, art critics, and collectors. Highly influenced by the works of Cy Twombly, Leiko Ikemura, Joan Mitchell, Marlène Dumas, Elisabeth Cummings, and Henri Matisse, the artist’s work is emotionally charged and in direct dialogue with the viewer who is invited into an open space for expression. 

Whilst in her works, Schott delicately creates colourful representations of nostalgia, freedom and human relationships, she also explores nature and an intangible realm in which human figures with abstract facial expressions are loosely outlined. In her work, she weaves personal and collective memories into shapes, marks and lines found in her everyday life, creating an abstract language of painting.
