Karin Kuhlmann Digital Fine Art

Like the surrealists and some abstractionists in the early 1900s, Kuhlmann prefers to utilize Automatism (the hand is allowed to move 'randomly' across the paper) for her creative processes to release her inner pictures. Working in this tradition she usually generates for her spiritual, abstract expressionist works a series of inspiring and associative organic shapes on transpararent layers (in photoshop) and reworks and combines it to get this luminous, lucent and painterly quality. Her abstract digital art works are in the intent of those in the abstract expressionist movement, who played with color, edgy design and mixed media to produce art that benefit the process. It is not her aim to create realistic reflections of her surrounding environment. She would rather like to show the things between and behind and to make her thoughts and perceptions visible. Her works are frequently very strong related with personal and social conditions, experiences and emotions.
