About this artwork
They are all a combination of water and salt – they clean, inside and out.
This picture was taken six months after the loss of my husband.
For a long time, I didn't know if I would ever be able to pick up a brush and paint again. But in spring, the moment came when a new impulse grew out of the silence – and I began to paint.
The work tells of darkness and light, of the deep valleys we sometimes… have to traverse in order to accept and integrate pain and grief within ourselves.
At the same time, it speaks of the vibrancy that slowly returns – like spring after a long winter – and of the polarity of all emotions that make life tangible in all its depth.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
- Works on commission
She primarily uses acrylics, ink, and oils in her diverse works. Her mostly abstract pieces emerge from free fields of color, multi-layered structures, and experimentation with materials such as earth, pigments, ash, and fabric. She creates vibrant contrasts that reflect moments of change and polarities in life. Her art conveys a deep, moving resonance, invites reflection, and reveals beauty in imperfection, in the interplay of light and shadow.
Her work is influenced by her love for Taoist movement arts. She has practiced and taught Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Bagua, and meditation for decades.
Since 1998, Anja Gienger has exhibited her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions both in Germany and abroad. She has been a member of GEDOK Reutlingen since 2026.
