About Anja Struck
A master of atmospheric staging
The painter Anja Struck places people at the centre of her work and stages them in landscapes, sequences of movements or portraits. She says that every figure she paints represents her emotional world. "Every work is a piece of myself, unconcealed, naked and honest." Struck achieves the special mood in her paintings through a deliberate blurring: motifs and contours blur and dissolve into veils of colour.
Struck was born in 1961 in Hamburg, Germany. Today she lives and works in Lüneburg. She studied graphics and design, art education and painting under Markus Lüpertz, among others.

Ceramic product made of kaolin, quartz and feldspar.
Porcelain is formed by turning or pressing and figurative objects are cast. Complex objects have to be cast in separated steps and sections and then "assembled". After the moulding, the pieces are dried and "annealed" at about 900 °C. Next, the glaze will be applied and fired at temperatures between 1,240 °C and 1,445 °C. In renowned manufactures, the porcelain is painted by hand whereby each colour has to be fired individually and in compliance with narrow temperature tolerances.
Porcelain was invented in China and became widespread in Europe from the 16th century onwards. The first European porcelain factory was founded in Meissen, Germany in 1710.
Other famous European porcelain factories include Fürstenberg, Höchst, Schwarzburger Werkstätten, Lladró, Nymphenburg, KPM, Augarten, Sèvres, Limoges, Royal Copenhagen, Worcester. Individual factories label their products with their personal porcelain stamps so that for the collecter it is easy to identify their origin.
