I want my paintings to be wild and free... When I begin a new work I am sure of the materials and the colors, the rest is emotion, passion and intuition. During the warm seasons I love to paint in my garden, throwing colors, scratching and splashing.
I am happy if my work can give you this feeling of unlimited joy in painting.
In the Deansgate Catalogue, Manchester 2021 you can read about this artwork: ‚Petra is a painter of rhythm, time and space. Her abstact work is ethereal and flows this way and that way in pre-determined patterns. It‘s an advancement on ‚drip‘ painting (Jackson Pollock) because the artist layers the colour and then using an implement drags the colour around the substrate. Petra is also using paint on the rims of circular objects to create a repetitive unifying shape which balances the composition.‘
This painting was also published in Spotlight Art Magazine Issue 22 and received the 'Certificate of Artistic Excellence'.
