Studio Dorothea Ney
I am an abstract expressionist painter in NM working with acrylics, oil colors and crayons on canvas and like to paint in groups of several paintings exploring one theme.
My current paintings are both an exploration and a response to my bi-cultural experience, weaving together the German and American experiences. The softer colors and light in Germany blend with the wilder, bolder colors and intense light in NM.
Both opposites feed into my works, creating imaginary landscapes of my soul.
I translate my experiences and feelings into a language of energetic movements with pastel colors and flowing forms.
A fellow artist once remarked, “Your work has so much light— a calming yet strong palette, the playful subject matter. I find your work very feminine, and I will say again, it also holds strength!”
My recent works about “New Earth” depict imaginary landscapes bathed in vibrating pastel colors. The theme of light persists in “New Earth” (1), featuring light-filled, floating clouds against a colorful sky. I want the viewer to feel the source of life is magical.
Currently, I am creating a body of work on canvas that I would like to share with others.
