The Artists
of Chocolate
“For me, painting is a process from what I have seen, experienced and felt to something new. It requires silence, to turn within oneself, to forget oneself. The change between conscious and unconscious action creates a picture with detached, new independence. If it is successful, it also touches others. My pictures should give the viewer free space to his own perceptions, interpretations and feelings.”
Annette Wessel
“Before I start a new painting, I generally just plan the canvas – which I then assemble and stretch myself – and come up with a rough colour scheme. But as soon as the first brushstrokes are on the canvas, the rest is really intuitive and can’t be planned.”
Aylin Graalmann
“As almost all my work has a critical undertone, the themes often arise from current events. It is people and faces in particular that appeal to me.”
Ute Drescher
“As sisters, we influence and inspire each other – this is how our very diverse painting styles and directions are created. We don’t plan our paintings in advance, but let ourselves be spontaneously inspired by intuition, moods and styles.”
