Art affects us directly and strongly. I strive for art to bring people joy, comfort, and positive energy. All my work aims at this. The sea, landscapes, flowers, animals, and people are my favorite subjects and the main objects in my pictures. I love to show the best and most beautiful part of them all.
My work is about taking reference from various sources including books, the net and photos to comprise and create my own imagery. By creating my paintings through reference or made up elements, there becomes a play between artificiality and realism.

Katinka Lampe paints portraits. Or at least, you can clearly recognise the representation of a person. Yet, this is not the main motive of the painting. The portrait merely serves as reason to make the painting. The portrait is the imagery concept. Her paintings greatly appeal to the beholders.

Can you tell us when you decided to pursue a career as an artist?
I had the enthusiasm for art since I was a child, but when I started painting with acrylics in the mid-90s, I grew the desire to put my messages into pictures and make happy faces. When I was able to sell the first paintings, I wanted to refine my technique and so the next steps came naturally.

Kühn challenges the group known as the New Leipzig School that includes Neo Rauch, Matthias Weischer, Martin Kobe, David Schnell, and Christoph Ruckhäberle, by bringing her experience living and studying in America to the fore. Kühn’s work offers painterly and formal connections between figures, landscape, and architecture through a vocabulary that is emblazed with gorgeous light and informed by German art and history.
I think of myself as a painter or 2D artist first with no constraints. However, I also find working in 3D to be just as satisfying as painting or drawing or printing when I can physically handle the materials.
After years of creating work, I still find the beginning of a piece to be as exciting as I remember my first efforts.
I sometimes refer to my artwork and my life as a whole as walking ‘Between Worlds’ I draw and paint what some people can not see in this 3D reality; the dreams, visions and imagination of realities and dimensions beyond this one. The Light Codes are universal symbols, lines and patterns that resonate positive frequencies with the viewer on a cellular level and are directly transmitted in the presence of the painting

I consider my work a meeting point between emotion and reality. In certain moments, dreams and imagination come into play, helping me seek balance between my inner world and the world around me. At the same time, I believe the canvas becomes a kind of story, where the viewer is free to listen and perceive their own feelings and emotions.
