About this artwork

This large-format oil painting marks the beginning of my camping tent series, in which I explored the complex relationship between humanity and nature during my travels. Humans do not appear here in their physical form – yet they are present: as a tent, acting as a silent stand-in.
It occupies space in the landscape and at the same time seems to merge with it in other places. This creates multi-layered pictorial spaces that oscillate between separation… and belonging. The work invites the viewer to pause, to reflect on their own role in the natural world – and simultaneously awakens a longing for departure and adventure.

Credentials

Works on commission

Michaela Schmid lives and works in the Chiemgau Alps region. A painter, she studied fine arts at the University of Regensburg, where she subsequently taught. Schmid primarily works with acrylic and oil paints. Her sketches, often created outdoors, serve as the starting point for evocative landscapes characterized by abstracted plant forms and dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Travels to southern countries provide her with additional inspiration, allowing her to express a sense of authenticity, vibrancy, exoticism, and longing in her work. In this way, landscapes, plants, and even artifacts acquire a special, almost primal presence.
