artist
Brigitte Stenzel was born in 1981 in Freising.

Stenzel studied philosophy and art history at the University of Regensburg from 2003 and transferred to the LMU Munich in 2006. In the same year, she began studying free painting with Prof Anke Doberauer and art education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. After her state examination, she spent a year on an Erasmus programme at the AVU in Prague. From 2013 to 2015, she continued her studies as a master student of Anke Doberauer in Munich.

The Freising-based painter's naturalistic paintings always resonate with the basic feeling of the Romantics: to live in harmony with nature. Her stories are often set in Freising and the surrounding area, where she was born and grew up.

Her almost old-masterly still lifes, portraits and landscapes are always characterised by a particularly accentuated use of light. Existential and philosophical questions are also symbolically thematised in her paintings.

The artist now lives and works in Munich.

Features and remarks


A large original painting by Brigitte Stenzel from 2013.

The winter-themed painting is entitled ‘Hopfenfeld’ and shows the artist in a long coat, leaning against an orphaned vine in a snow-covered field.

Despite the dark night, the moon lying somewhere outside the picture frame seems to cast its light, creating long shadows on the ground.

The 1.8 x 2.0 metre painting is from the 8-part ‘Season Cycle’, which was painted from 2012 to 2013 for the Diocesan Museum in Freising and was also exhibited there.

„For the annual cycle, Brigitte Stenzel has tracked down spaces of longing in the immediate vicinity of her homeland beyond the pleasing postcard motifs and staged herself as a seeker without exaggeration. [...] At the winter solstice on a snow-covered hop field in the Holledau, staring into a campfire on the banks of the Pullinger Weiher, and on the Domberg, dressed entirely in black and gazing into the distance. In their search for purity and beauty, the pictures combine romanticism and realism.."

Christoph Dorner, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 2015
