Pamina Liebert-Mahrenholz’s artistic creations originate in her imaginative vision. This vision guides her paintings progressively from sketch towards the ultimate artwork. The canvas becomes a playground for experimentation using various techniques and mediums, layering each step and refining the composition as she advances.
To illustrate this for Pamina, there’s no need to use the x-ray technology that’s increasingly popular for revealing a master painter’s “underpaintings” (the preliminary unseen layers that lie beneath the surface of their finished works). In fact we have over 20 examples that beautifully expose Pamina’s creation process. These examples are an invaluable resource for aspiring artists. Art students daunted at the prospect of creating a masterpiece may draw courage from the simple spark of creativity behind the more humble origins of Pamina Liebert-Mahrenholz paintings and drawings.
“A strict classical style dominates her sculpture, which is concentrated on the human figure and portrait heads. Her painting gives a scultural impression without being naturalistic, and geometric forms are abstracted from recognisable motifs.”
Camden Arts Center, 1986
