Edda Mann

grew up in socialist East Berlin and is still living in Berlin, a city which changed so drastically and still keeps that spirit

Nature is the refuge. She paint places that hold emotional gravity for her — landscapes where she feels both: small and whole, where pain and joy coexist in a fragile balance.

Oil paint is the main medium — chosen first for its resemblance to the fluidity of water-colour, but now cherished for its depth, its patience, its forgiving nature. It allows to erase, rebuild, and sculpt. She mix pigments gathered from the landscapes where she travels through, blending them with ink, acrylic spray paint, oil pastel. Sometimes you can find even embroidery and sequins in her works — to weave tactile layers, memory, and matter into one surface.
