Petra Seidel

The creation of my artwork reflects the many nuances of my spirit, leading through a fascinating world of grace and meaning.

Most of my compositions are characterised by a recurring feature, a symbol of timelessness and prosperity - gold. I use gold as a majestic background that enchants the viewer's eyes, or in fine details that dance like sparkling reflections in the light. This precious metal, a symbol of brilliance and durability, merges with the flowing colours and complex structures of my works.

Amidst this impressive abundance, the attentive viewer discovers a recurring motif that acts as a guide through the labyrinth of diversity - circles and rings. Symbols of perfection, infinity and harmony weave their way through many works, a reminder of the cyclical nature of life and of art itself.

I choose my painting surfaces carefully to bring my visions to life. Each surface becomes a medium of expression, a portal into a world that lies beyond physical reality.

Each painting harbours an expression of aesthetics, aspiration and quality, a testament to the tireless dedication and pursuit of personal perfection. Through my art, I challenge the viewer to explore the depths of the human experience, to discover the beauty in the finest details of life and to explore the essence of what it means to be alive.

Golden Rings

The artworks in this series reveal a fascinating complexity and depth that immerse the viewer in a world of colour and boundless forms.

The use of acrylics and inks on canvas allows me to create a multi-layered depiction, because the colours flow in and on top of each other, both in a thinking and transparent way. This creates exciting nuances and textures. These compositions often produce surprising results that direct the viewer's gaze and encourage reflection. Particularly striking are the golden, circular surfaces, which are designed as a background or lying on top and convey a metaphorical level of perfection and spirituality.

These works invite the viewer to engage with their depth and symbolism, offering each viewer a unique experience.

Shine

n these works of art, the gold unfolds like a sparkling veil, enveloping the soul of the work and lending it a mystical aura.

The powerful structures and ornate patterns are like paths that lead the viewer on a journey through the depths of the human spirit and cosmic harmony. The golden background and the golden details radiate a transcendent beauty that transports the viewer to a world beyond material reality.

Each work is thus a poetic poem that intoxicates the senses and harmonises the soul with the universal beauty of creation.

Flowing Freestyle

Each work in this series is a captivating interplay of colours and textures that draws the viewer in and invites discovery.

Acrylic colours or inks are applied in flowing movements and run organically into one another, creating a dynamic and lively appearance.

The complexity of my works is enhanced by different layers of colour that are worked into each other, creating a deep visual dimension. Splashes and drips of colour give the artworks an additional dynamic and convey a sense of movement and energy.

Vibrant Souls - The energy in form and colour

In my "Vibrant Souls" series, powerful, mostly acrylic colours meet clear geometry - on wood as a warm, organic painting surface. Layer by layer, I often intuitively create complex compositions that are characterised by structure, depth and a play with dimensions. My works are not just painted, but constructed - visual spaces with which I convey emotion and order at the same time.
 
A special feature of this series is the glossy resin surface, which is not the end, but a further artistic intervention: refined, reworked, reflective. In this way, each work becomes a living object that interacts with light, perspective and the viewer - intense, multi-layered and full of inner movement.

Art Goes Pop (Special Edition)

My Pop Art artworks are characterised by their expressive colours, often with a preference for neon colours that bring the canvas to life

I often use a combination of acrylics and inks as well as stencilling techniques to create vivid contrasts and deep layers. The use of spray paint adds a dynamic energy to the works, while textures and splash effects create additional depth and dimension. I add running colours and abstract shapes to symbolise movement and unpredictability in the artwork, creating a modern and provocative overall image.

I borrow motifs from the British street artist Banksy, among others, by combining iconic symbols of pop culture with subversive elements.

Artist Statement

With my art, I want to encourage people to leave the familiar behind and try out new things with joy.

I don't paint figuratively, but abstractly. It is precisely the abstract that reminds us that we are not pressed into fixed forms. Abstraction allows us to better understand our possibilities. We can develop beyond form. Through doing, the space opens up for the new, for the unfamiliar and we step out of the known. This is how healing can occur.

While painting, I allow myself to be carried along by the flow of life. When I create, I experience enthusiasm and the release of resistance - experiences that are of great importance in the lives of all of us. I want to convey this realization of the living flow, of letting go of things that are an enormous burden, through my art. My art invites everyone to play with free thoughts and emotions.

My declared mission is to enable a spiritual exchange for people through visual representation and to create a space for aesthetics and harmony. I have realized that this is how I can give recognition to unfolding. My art serves as my tool for this. Embrace the development as a flow of life, with all its challenges and opportunities for enthusiasm and passion.

Artist biography

The freelance artist Petra Seidel has had an enormous interest in structures from an early age. She studied business administration and had a successful career. The structures of economic processes played a key role here.
 
The birth of her children changed her career decisively. Family life with its new structures opened up a completely new perceptual space for her. Her creativity continued to develop. During this time, she began to transform her creative skills into an artistic creative process. She mastered many new challenges with the help of her newly discovered playful approach.
 
She works with other artists to refine her artistic expression and technique. She attends workshops and takes courses to deepen her knowledge of techniques such as acrylic pouring and abstract painting and learns how to use unconventional materials.
