Isabeau Schmikowski combines realistic representation with dynamic color palettes. She values works that will accompany people for a long time, therefore she places great importance on durable materials, from the painting surface to the sealing. Her paintings emerge from a blend of meticulous planning and an intuitive process.
The focus is on the beauty and character of animals, especially as a tribute to wild animals and their daily struggle for survival. For her, every artwork tells a story and creates connections.
It is important to her that her works are moving and draw attention to the animal world. Furthermore, she is actively involved in nature conservation: she donates 5% of her sales revenue to NABU Düren or the North Rhine Wildlife Rescue Center to actively contribute to the protection, care, and reintroduction of native wildlife species.
