About this artwork

I cultivate and love a natural, colorful, and somewhat wild garden within an allotment garden. Because of its central location, it was threatened by development for a long time. We actively fought against it, as this green oasis is important as a green space for the neighborhood, the urban climate, rainfall, and the community spirit in the area. During an acute construction planning phase, I began the "Green Oasis" series. And since a garden belongs… not only to plants and colorful flowers but also to animals, small works by insects like this wild bee species have gradually been added.

The stretcher frame of this work is something very special. During the coronavirus pandemic, all small-format frames were sold out; only "historic," handmade frames were still available. The canvas of this gem was still nailed to the frame by hand. Thus, you are also acquiring a small piece of contemporary history.

Credentials

Works on commission

Kirsten Treis is a freelance painter from the Rhineland. Her works explore nature and landscapes. The artist typically transforms her random observations of everyday situations, which she first captures on camera. She is often drawn to the play of light. In her studio, these colorful, vibrant works emerge. The viewer's gaze falls on wildflowers and garden flowers, sometimes in bud, sometimes in full bloom, but also in decline. Anyone who observes blossoms will always be delighted by the diverse insects that visit them. Butterflies flutter through paintings, and bees and bumblebees seek out colorful blossoms. Kirsten Treis works with acrylic paints on canvas. She applies the paint in multiple layers, sometimes allowing the underlying colors to show through. The painter works in a modern, realistic style and appreciates the change and play with semi-abstract sequences.

Kirsten Treis donates 3% of the proceeds from a picture sale to nature conservation projects.
