BETTINA HACHMANN

" ... "

"The paintings of Bettina Hachmann are rather herself, a mirror of the artist, figure, landscape, colour on canvas, order and chaos as well as the desire to celebrate again and again the process of emotions through the painted picture."

"They move us. They move us, the pictures by Bettina Hachmann. Reduced in colour, they are nevertheless rich in grey tonalities and quiet nuances of colour that push to the surface. They hold secrets, allow only partial, determined insights. Through openings, through cracks. But they do not reveal everything. It is the highly aesthetic, lively works in which so much is happening. They polarise, they invite. They are symbols for traces of life. "

"In Hachmann’s case, moreover, there is not just the refinement of subtly staggered lines and fine, spidery webs, but also a narrative and dramatic complexity ..."

ABOUT_ME

WELCOME

Lifelines

My art stems from Nordic aesthetics, a fascination with imperfection, and the multifaceted experiences of my life.

Lifelines that tell of transience and vulnerability, but also of new beginnings and healing.

Through multi-layered, delicate applications of paint and the opening up of the canvas, works are created that reveal a glimpse of the hidden. I create atmospheres that touch people and invite them to explore inner spaces.

My deepest conviction is that the beauty of simplicity and the acceptance of imperfection have a healing effect. This drive shapes my life and my art.

Sincerely! Bettina Hachmann
