Bettina Mauel expresses vitality and sensuality in her abstract and figurative paintings. “I paint what I experience,” she articulates. “This includes landscapes, dancers and people in motion, capturing them at a particular moment in time.” Her artworks often incorporate a sophisticated and vibrant sense of movement. This original artwork is 31-inch tall by 21-inch wide. Mauel created this one-of-a-kind painting by using blue ink on French Linen paper to capture the movement of her subject and added refined minimalist lines in black graphite to indicate the body with a balanced subtlety. It is signed by the artist on the front. It is not framed. Convenient local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable US and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity is included. Bettina Mauel was born 1959 in Wuppertal, Germany. She studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Professor Gerhard Richter. Bettina lives and works in Cologne, Germany. In 1984 she was asked by the city of Wuppertal, Germany to paint scenes of the dance theater of Pina Bausch. This had a major influence on the selection of themes in her imagery. Instead of focusing on spectacular poses, she honed in on the in-between: feelings, thoughts and fears. She has presented her work in numerous exhibitions and art fairs throughout Europe, North America and Asia and her art has been acquired by many notable museums and public institutions.
