"I create to catch the numinous, the spiritual, to show beauty. Making artwork allows me to shape unique worlds that convey joy and hope – so necessary in the world today.

Whether working from observation or from my inner feeling (abstract), I work in a poetic-expressionistic style that draws you in and enables you to communicate with my work.  

I am fascinated by colour (=light), form (=space) and movement (=expression). Working with these I create living pictures, constantly honing my craft to catch the movement of the beautiful and my aesthetic feeling. 

Since my childhood I have delved into other worlds, be it by reading or by drawing and painting. I paint to express myself, to hide myself in the process of making the work. I explore themes such as being a woman and the environment in my practice, but in an oblique manner, so the artwork remains open and free, is self-referential and can be interpreted in a myriad of ways.

My abstract work is informed by my study of nature and constant drawing practice; it comes from within me and is a response to the world around me. Without studying my surroundings, by sketching, drawing inspired by observation, reading, I could not make these works.

I believe in the craft of painting and practice it regularly. I believe art needs to have depth and meaning. It is a living breathing organism that comes alive when you look at it. It is a unique world open to be interpreted differently by everyone. However, it cannot be so perfect that everything is expressed. It has to leave room for you, the viewer, to enter into it.

I firmly believe people need art. Art is a vital form of human expression. It is a life-sustaining force. Art gives you, the viewer, power to shape your life.

Thank you" Sibylle Laubscher
