Sylvia Gatz, an outstanding painter, captivates viewers with her unique works, which represent a fascinating fusion of realism and abstraction. Through her masterful use of colours and forms, she lends her paintings a sensual depth and emotional resonance. Her paintings evoke associations with expressionist painting by Gabriele Münter, Paula Modersohn-Becker or Der Blaue Reiter. At the same time, the painter always remains authentic in her impasto and spatula-applied painting style. Sylvia Gatz does not allow herself to be forced into academic norms or classical rules. Socio-political as well as sociological aspects always flow into her human-looking “animal portraits” with a certain wink.

Sylvia Gatz lives and works in Leipzig, Germany.
