About this artwork
Neverland belongs to an earlier period in my work — my acrylic phase — when I was exploring movement, emotion, and instinct more than structure. It’s a painting that grew out of energy and restlessness, where I allowed color to lead before meaning arrived.
The surface carries layers of quick decisions and spontaneous marks, shifting between gesture and reflection. Acrylic gave me the freedom to work fast, to react before overthinking — something… that still influences how I paint today.
The title came afterward. “Neverland” felt right — a place outside of time, where reality and memory overlap. It’s about holding onto imagination, even when everything feels uncertain.
Looking back, this painting feels like a bridge — between who I was as an artist then and how I work now. It still holds that sense of urgency and openness that I never want to lose.

“Art must hold space for what cannot be spoken.”
Manja McCade is a contemporary artist whose practice moves between abstraction, memory, and social awareness. Rooted in painting yet open to cross-disciplinary dialogue, her work explores presence, loss, and the pursuit of freedom. McCade’s process is intuitive and physical — color, gesture, and rhythm become her language.
Alongside her studio practice, she develops projects that question silence and visibility in political and emotional contexts, including Belmarsh Live, her long-term engagement with freedom of speech and justice.
Based in Dessau, Germany, McCade creates works that invite reflection — art as a space for truth, empathy, and transformation.
