Rotraut

Born and raised in the untamed landscapes of Germany, Rotraut's odyssey led her through the vibrant streets of Paris to the sun-soaked American Southwest. Her cosmopolitan influences are not only evident in her works but also in her seamless integration of three languages and cultures into her artistic expression.

Rotraut's philosophy, rooted in the belief that "nature is the essence," distinguishes her from her contemporaries. Embracing intuition and instinct, she disregards trends in her work. Her works, described by her as "free of cerebral" undergo intellectual analysis beforehand, allowing the creative process to flow unencumbered by the intellect.

Exposure to Pierre Restany's rigorous theorizing through her late husband Yves Klein, guided Rotraut towards a distinctive path. Her art is a thoughtful endeavor, with pre-analysis enabling the creation of works that resonate with sincerity and coherence. Her unending fascination with the cosmos and steadfast beliefs about the Universe, nature, and the embodied quality of art find validation in cutting-edge scientific developments.
