Artist Statement

My work explores the idea of home as an inner state — a sense of belonging, trust and arrival within oneself.

Nature is a recurring presence in my work — not only as a source of organic forms, rhythms and colour, but as an allegory for life itself.
It´s cycles of growth, change and renewal reflect something deeply human: the constant movement between becoming, letting go and beginning again. Nature does not try to be anything other than what it is. This inherent authenticity and trust in its own rhythm lie at the heart of my practice.

Tactility has fascinated me since childhood. The physical experience of a surface has always had the ability to bring me into the present — away from thought and into direct experience. This connection to material continued through my background in fashion design and eventually became an essential part of my artistic practice.

Working with raw cotton, acrylic, oil sticks, spray paint and mineral materials such as limestone, I build layered surfaces guided by intuition and materiality. The works are intended not only to be seen, but felt — creating moments of presence and a quiet sense of coming home to oneself.

Artist Bio

Christina Anna Sperber is a German contemporary artist based in the Upper Palatinate, Bavaria.

With a background in fashion design, her sensitivity to colour, material and composition has been shaped by more than a decade of working within the creative industry. After studying fashion design in Munich, she went on to work as a designer and Head of Design before returning to her own artistic practice.

Today, Sperber creates abstract, tactile paintings characterised by intuitive gestures, layered surfaces and a distinctive use of natural and mineral materials. Her background in fashion continues to inform her approach to composition and materiality, while her practice has developed into a visual language entirely of its own.

STUDIO PRACTICE

Sperber’s studio practice is defined by a continuous, series-based approach. Each year, she develops approximately three to four new bodies of work, through which she continues to evolve her visual language of painting and materiality.
