Artist Statement:
Scope Serie
This body of work explores the
desire to control that which
cannot be controlled. The very
process of creating these
images requires me to
experiment with composition,
asymmetry, color and
inevitable accidents. I am
always looking for the
smallest fragment from which a
whole can be intuitively
constructed.
The images are created by
pouring chemicals directly
onto photo emulsion, allowing
the pigment to form its own
shapes and edges. This is an
intuitive, elastic process of
give and take between my
intentions and the materials'
behavior which, in contrast to
painting on top of an already
sealed canvas, limits the
complete control I might have
over the final product.
Human Machine
This body of work explores the
surface of our inner landscape
that
represents the eternal of our
life. As a serie I create
images that leads us through a
journey which reencounters our
self-identification, the true
essence, hidden behind the
mind.It is the visionary
journey into landscapes of
digitally polluted mind
against a background of
physical nature.
Using a combination of
anatomical diagrams,
photographs , organs and
medical maps of veins, I
create images that compels
the viewer to see "into" him
or herself, encouraging
contemplation...

Artist Reviews:
The artist is addressing
formal issues in abstraction,
drawn toward a color palette
of deep reds, vibrant
hot pink, yellows, and blues
and greens that have
both archaic and fresh
evocations, reflecting a deep
vibration of an urban
contemporary soul.
Nitsche, still closely
indentified to her native
German
origin, comes ...
