Petra Maruschek is an abstract painter who works between Düsseldorf and Mallorca. Her work begins with a painting surface made of slaked lime and marble dust. As it dries, it cracks naturally—a process she initiates but does not control. Onto the cracked surface, she applies layer upon layer of highly diluted acrylic glazes, ink, and pigments, sometimes incorporating shellac, rust, or gold pigment. The glazes collect in the crevices, seep into the cracks, accentuate some textures, and conceal others.
Her painting is abstract. The island is not a subject, but a condition – light, silence, heat, the vastness of sky and sea.
Her development was self-taught, but not unguided: several years of instruction with Tomasz Piwarski, a master student of Rissa (Düsseldorf Art Academy).
Exhibitions include Copelouzos Family Art Museum, Athens; Museum of Sóller; Mallorca, Nit de l'Art in Palma, Ses Salines, Llucmajor., Mallorca.
