Ute Herrmann is a German artist who comes from a family of artists. Her father has been her tutor and has made her familiar with the paintbrush and canvas since early childhood. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word, as her paintings are all about the attractiveness of colours and the surfaces of her objects. “I enjoy creating spaces in my paintings that let the viewer’s eye wander” says Ute.
She captures bright, pleasant moods and, with her cheerful colours in oil on canvas, creates impressionistic pictures full of joie de vivre and quiet pleasure. “The sun in my paintings warms the soul and makes us think of carefree hours” says Ute.
There are places and moments in this world that seem to be waiting for nothing but their discovery: The glowing yellow of a rapeseed field, the warm red of poppies, a half-open garden door or a street cafe inviting us to step inside. These are the impressions and moods which Ute Herrmann captures on canvas in oil and in formats that add special emphasis to each subject.
The special appeal of her paintings derives from her depth of perspective which opens up a pictorial space to the viewer. This impression is created by that special interaction between paints applied as a glaze and those with a paste-like quality.
