Paula Kamps
Paula Kamps transports into moments and scenes of daily life, somewhere between memory and imagination. In her work, she explores mediums that are considered outside of traditional painting. She developed a technique in between watercolour and drawing, where she scatters large swathes of ink onto the canvas. These take the form of “stains”, as André Butzer describes them and reveal feelings, figures and objects.
