In the works of Kathrin Denecke, also known as CreativeSoul Hamburg, you can feel the joy of storytelling through words and colours. This becomes especially clear in the projects she creates for and with children.It quickly becomes clear: a lot of her own life flows into her work.

Art with something to say.
TRANSFORMING VIEWPOINTS
Art asks questions, leads into conversation, unleashes ideas. It wants to be explored and discovered. I invite you to do so.
THE PROCESS
I let myself be guided, work intuitively. My search movement in the working process penetrates thereby less from the surface, from shades, colours and areas into the depth, but rather vice versa. I allow my paintings to grow.
Everything that moves me - emotions, social, societal but also personal issues - flows into my painting.
I experiment with different materials, applying the paint layer by layer in glazes. The light that penetrates the various layers and is reflected from the depths thus becomes part of the work.
“When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.”

AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF WILD SPACES
Travelling, getting to know cultures, experiencing nature, these are the sources of my inspiration. I see the connection I feel with nature as a gift. I want to protect and preserve it, not only for my children. I also want to give something back. That's why I'm donating a percentage of the profits from selected works to various organizations working to preserve our environment and biodiversity.
