About this artwork

Polarsicht - im Winter, im Vordergrund einzelne Eisschollen - abgebrochen, schroff im eiskalten Wasser (Ultramarin und Preußisch blau). Die verschiedenen Weiss-Töne des Polareises noch verschmutzt, erdisch-mineralisch (Siena natur, Vandykbraun). Dahinter die unendliche Weite des Eises - Zinkweiss und Titanweiss eignen sich vortrefflich. Eisblau … In der Ferne eher unwirkliches Licht, realisiert durch Übermalung von und durch Pastellkreiden.
In diesem… Werk habe ich die rohe, ungetrübte Kraft der Natur durch eine Mischung aus Acryl, Pastell und Ölpastell eingefangen. Die dynamische Textur, geschaffen mit verschiedensten Materialien, darunter auch Tape und Krepp, verleiht dem Bild eine haptische Qualität, die die Betrachter fast die Kälte spüren lässt.
Die abstrakten Formen und die kühlen Farbnuancen spiegeln die Einsamkeit und Majestät einer eisigen Landschaft wider. Dieses Gemälde bringt ein Stück unberührte Natur und Ruhe in jedes Zuhause.

Works on commission

Annette G. Rathjen is a versatile artist with a background in photography, painting, and printmaking. She works with a mixture of painting, collage, and drawing, layering elements upon elements. She uses acrylic paints, charcoal, chalk, but also sand, coffee grounds, marble dust, ash, and sometimes old nautical charts.
This creates a tension: lines and colors assert themselves, are covered over. Something new breaks through, something old remains visible. It's like a conversation on the canvas—sometimes a dialogue, sometimes an argument.

The result is images that reveal both structure and movement. They are not linear narratives, but fragments, superimpositions that challenge us; inviting us to let go of our perception, not to stop at the first step, but to inspire us as viewers and invite our own interpretation. Her works are exhibited in France, Austria, Italy, and the USA.
