About the artist
Marleen Thüringer (born 1989) studied art therapy in Munich. She has been painting since she could hold a pen. For her, the greatest thing is when she can bring color and brush to people - in workshops, as a postcard or on canvas. Her portraits have a story to tell. Tehy want to touch you and make you think about the message. The focus of their design is on the question of what moves people deep inside. In her art she finds an expression for that for which there are often no words and thus gives the unconscious a shape.
"The work of art is the greatest riddle of all, but the human being is the solution" - Joseph Beuys -
ART?
For me, art means to be searching, perceiving, listening, sinking, flowing. Creating art is a lively curiosity and discovery - finding ways to overcome boundaries and enable new connections. It's understanding with your cells.
My artistic exploration always deals with an inner letting go and with subjects of transformation. It's liveliness and spontaneity. It's adventure and dedication to the flow. It's reacting to the chaos and the freedom to start anew at any time.
Painting is about the wide space for expression without words. Lead & follow the flow. It is meditation and struggle in one.
There is visible growth in both directions - internally and externally.
An expression for YES to life.
