BEATE MINDERJAHN
Colours and textures with a creative mind characterises the work of Artist and Interior Designer Beate Minderjahn. She believes that colour has the power to affect our well-being, to inspire emotions and to stimulate our minds.
Born in Germany Beate immigrated to New Zealand in 1999 with her husband and son. After graduating Business Management and running her own company in Germany, Beate finally decided to turn her life-long passion for Interiors, Art and Design into a career. In November 2003 Beate completed her Interior Design studies. The Design principles and her many years experience as an artist is a wonderful combination to create individual spaces. Alongside Interiors and Art, Beate loves to create home textiles, Art Cards, Fashion, Collages, Digital Photo Art and writing Poems and Short Stories.
Beate's art has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Germany, China, Italy, US and NZ. She is well known for her large abstract and mixed media paintings, her round series "Peace Circles", and her Acrylic range 'Colour meets Texture'.
“I am an artist and designer who is obsessed with forms, lines, shapes, and colours - and with freedom. I think, that's why I finally became an artist. The freedom to express myself in a visual language, universal and only limited to my own imagination, is a priceless gift. Each of my art pieces is a new challenge and reveals a fragment of life. It is the constant alternating process of concealing and uncovering, creating with my hands, exploring colours, textures and language. Through different media my art invites the viewer to contemplate further on a soul-searching moment – to experience a visual meditation. Beauty plays an influential role in my abstract painting style which continues to evolve into an ongoing artistic journey of discovery. “
