Artist Statement:
Without light there can be no
colour. Everything is defined

Europe as a very visual
person, Wiebke was always
powerfully aware of light and
its absence during the short
dark winter days.
Moving to Barcelona in 1994
she was first overwhelmed by
the brightness of

that inspired Wiebke to start
exploring colour through
painting and she took initial
inspiration from Mediterranean
landscapes and architecture,
moving slowly towards
abstraction.
Influencing her some kind or

The Blue Rider artists, Paul
Klee, Frida Kahlo, Joan Miró,
Gerhard Richter and Miquel
Barceló, and writers
portraying their colourful
Latin American culture, such
as Isabel Allende and Gabriel
García Marquéz
During her MA Wiebke started
her first series “Colour and
Words” , exploring how
language and colour relate to
each other and how our ...
