Article of Stenzel, Brigitte
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.
