ART

Franziska Raffaël’s artwork is about making sense of the world and her social surroundings by creating visual harmony on canvas through colors, shapes, and structures. She seeks to immerse herself fully in a place, home or abroad, to capture a picture as complete as possible. Consciously and subconsciously, she absorbs her environment, processing both the visual and emotional impressions it presents.

Raffaël listens in to life in all its forms, from beauty to flaws, from the privileged to those on the edge of obliviousness, from success stories to tales of sadness, grief and personal struggles. As an image in her mind takes shape, she becomes increasingly capable of translating these impressions into her artworks. Translation, for Raffaël, means mentally extracting colors and shapes from what she has seen, heard, and felt and to bring these to life on canvas. The results are multi-layered abstract paintings between clear, geometric shapes and relaxed, flowing styles.

In addition to solo and group exhibitions, Raffaël also presents her works at international art fairs such as the Discovery Art Fair Cologne, STROKE Boutique Art Fair and ARTMUC Munich. Her art has received national and international recognition and enthusiasm.

She lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
