Picture "Untitled, July 2019" (2019) (Unique piece)
Christine Müller's mostly large-format works are combined with a cheerful and positive aura. The painter's works are always bursting with vitality and dynamism, no matter if it is a sea of flowers, a spring meadow or a pictorial translation of a piece of music by the Impressionist composer Maurice Ravel. The seemingly fleeting and spontaneous way of working with impasto brushstrokes finds its art historical reference in abstract expressionism.

About Christine Müller
Christine Müller's mostly large-format works unite a cheerfully positive aura. Whether a sea of flowers, a spring meadow or the pictorial translation of a piece of music by Debussy, the painter's works are always bursting with vitality and dynamism. The seemingly fleeting and spontaneous way of working with impasto brushstrokes finds its art historical reference in abstract expressionism.
Works by famous composers such as Chopin, Ravel or Tchaikovsky inspires the artist. She translates her spontaneous associations with music into an impulsive pictorial language of surreal-looking forms and structures in a wide range of colours. And despite all the superficial abstraction, figurative elements such as faces and figures can be recognised from time to time in the sea of colour on closer inspection. Müller says that she tries to get close to the essence of music in her paintings.
Christine Müller (born in 1969) studied fine arts under Prof. Brembs, Prof. K. Jürgen Fischer and Werner Schmidt at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. The artist lives and works in Hofgeismar, Germany. Her works can be found in the Würth Collection, among others.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from the representational depiction, which spread throughout the entire western and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.
Graphic artwork in the making of which the artist combines at least two graphic techniques.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
