Heidrun Rathgeb presents her new exhibition, I Watch the Mountains Changing Colour, showcasing small, luminous paintings inspired by her life near Lake Constance and the Alps. Using egg tempera, Rathgeb’s works embody her daily observations, termed 'daily epiphanies,' which she captures in her sketchbook rather than through photographs. Influenced by both early Renaissance and modern painters, her art reflects personal experiences, including her family, home, and nature. Drawing and painting are acts of devotion for Rathgeb, emphasizing connection through her intentions and attention to light and color.
Rathgeb's paintings are often no larger than the palm of her hand, created using small brushes and multiple layers of egg tempera, providing a luminous quality.
Drawing daily in her sketchbook, Rathgeb captures small observations as 'daily epiphanies,' which form the foundation of her paintings, prioritizing lived moments over mere visuals.
Her painting style resonates with early Sienese Renaissance influences, reflecting a deep personal connection to daily life, family, light, and nature in her surroundings.
For Rathgeb, her artistic practices are acts of devotion and connection, conveying warmth and intimacy through careful attention to color, light, and memory.
