In the I Never Promised You A Rose series Nimtz leaves a lot up to the viewer’s imagination. While the title of the series gives the works a melancholic feeling, the color palette transmits passion and calm simultaneously. In #2 the cool tones coupled with the stacked squares are reminiscent of a glass castle.

The work comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.

Petra Nimtz

Born in Germany / Works in New York, NY

My work develops from the physical process of painting. Compositions are not planned or created, but found; they emerge somewhere along the way. To me ,what matters, is the act of painting itself. Having no concept in mind frees me from rules, elements of style and formal techniques. Usually I start a new canvas with gestural mark making or shapes. Using brushes, palette knifes and rags the oil paint is applied thickly, building layers. One mark here leads to another over there. I work on more than one piece and so a conversation between the them begins. What I do on one canvas has an influence on the other and vice versa. A unique aspect of my painting process is the fact that I have trained myself only to use my left hand although I’m right handed. I’m using the left side right brain connection which is all about imagination and not controlling anything. My artwork is a way to express what I cannot say with words.
