“Her expressionist, pop surrealist work instills the organic structural integrity of nature into the environments in which her female subjects exist…”
Lioba Brückner (b. 1988) is a painter based in Oberhausen, Germany.
She portrays young women in a surrealistic manner superimposed by plants or insects while submerged in dripping oil colour and translucent layers. Her subjects transport a melancholic and dreamful mood while often seem lost in thoughts.
Every painting is a reflection of thoughts and feelings she experiences during the time period of creation. Lioba uses her specific aesthetic for her portraits which derives from her fascination of the beauty in every woman.
Influenced by contemporary artists, old masters, her admiration for nature, Japan, science-fiction and fantasy movies her art is in a constant state of development.
Lioba Brückner studied with Markus Lüpertz and received her diploma under Tony Cragg at the academy of arts in Düsseldorf 2012. She exhibits nationally and internationally. She lives and works in Oberhausen, Germany.
“Her expressionist, pop surrealist work instills the organic structural integrity of nature into the environments in which her female subjects exist. Lioba’s landscape of vibrant utopic realities feel intimate and with a temperament that allows the flow of color to gently insert oneself into her paintings.” — Luciano Martinez – Interview with Plopop Magazine
