There are places and moments in this world that seem to be waiting for nothing but their discovery: The glowing yellow of a rape field, the warm red of poppies, a half-open garden door or a street café inviting us to step inside. These are the impressions and moods which Ute Herrmann captures on canvas in oil and in formats that add special emphasis to each subject.

Ute Herrmann comes from an artists’ family. Thanks to her father, she has been familiar with the paintbrush and canvas since early childhood. She is an artist in the truest sense of the word, as her paintings are all about the attractiveness of colours and the surfaces of her objects.

The special appeal of her paintings derives from her depth of perspective which opens up a pictorial space to the viewer. This impression is created by that special interaction between paints applied as a glaze and those with a paste-like quality.

Any art that endeavours to be honest to the viewer must be based on good craftsmanship coupled with talent and the desire to preserve some beautiful subjective moments in this world. The artist creates such moments through impressionist yet realistic images which sometimes set detailed accents and sometimes consciously convey vivid impressions in a consciously reduced manner.
Her close affinity to nature and her cheerful, unaffected method of using colour in her compositions lead to works that are full of joyful vitality.
