About this artwork
A face, divided between drawing and painting, looks into two worlds.
Beside him, the bright green horse—silent and watchful, like a messenger. Hands emerge, holding signs as if to bestow a blessing or release.
From fragments of sketches, scraps of paper, and explosions of color, a web of memory, ritual, and awakening emerges. Humans and animals, lines and surfaces, neon and shadows—everything surges upward, out of the picture, as if carrying the… movement of an invisible journey.
The explosion of color, the juxtaposition of humans and animals, the open spatial structures, and the almost ritualistic gestures evoke something effervescent, something transcendent.
The overall effect is both raw and poetic – creating a tension between spirituality, movement and fragmentation.

Karolin Schumann
Germany
Karolin Schumann lives and works in Munich. She began her artistic career in the early 2000s as a self-taught artist, supplemented by workshops and a two-year course with Prof. Hannes Bayer at the Leonardo Art Academy in Salzburger Land. Since 2010, she has run the studio zierputz, which has served as an exhibition space and pop-up gallery for contemporary painting since 2023. In addition to her own work, she curates exhibitions there.
Her focus is on abstract painting. She explores complex color worlds, amorphous structures, and expressive lines that visualize transitions between time, experience, and resonance. Works emerge intuitively from spontaneous impulses, alternating between overpainting, covering, and layering. Using acrylic, charcoal, chalk, ash, and collage, she develops a spectrum from sculptural structures to transparent surfaces—painting as a dialogue between intuition, memory, and vision.
