Daniela Schweinsberg

Bad Hair Day (Abstract Expressionism painting)

2020

Daniela Schweinsberg is a German abstract artist whose lyrical paintings derive their raucous power from a mix of raw emotion, vibrant color and layers of energetic brushstrokes. She lives and works in Frankfurt, Germany.

Schweinsberg has studied with German abstract painters Peter Tomschiczek and Peter Casagrande, and with Austrian painter Adam Jankowski. In 2018, she was shortlisted for the Rise Art Prize, Great Britain. Schweinsberg has exhibited extensively in Germany as well as in England, Belgium and the United States, and her work has been featured in several contemporary art fairs, including Art Cologne, Luxembourg Art Fair, Discovery Art Fair and others.

Working in the emotionally charged, gestural tradition of painters like Cy Twombly, Joan Mitchell and Georges Mathieu, Daniela Schweinsberg extends the legacies of Tachisme, Lyrical Abstraction and Abstract Expressionism, creating powerful, layered paintings that speak in brutal harmony with the chaotic beauty of the out time. Using a diverse range of media, including oils, acrylics and spray paint, along with natural materials such as ash, plaster and sand, Schweinsberg builds her compositions up slowly through an intuitive process of adding and erasure, guided all the while by feeling.
