More About Christa Haack

Question Icon What inspires you?

Relax, immerse yourself in a world of your own and let images emerge that are unpredictable - comparable to our lives, which also bring surprises.

Question Icon Describe your creative process.

The use of different materials makes the processuality of the artistic work very clear. First of all, textures are created on the canvas using the finest painting materials, such as marble powder and the so-called champagne chalk. This is followed by first applications of paint, which sometimes disappear again, so that only the idea of the former colour field resonates on the tableau.
