"A field of tension emerges in the silent encounter between human and art. The experience of resonance and connection forms the bridge that allows this gentle vibration to arise."
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 -
