Rebecca Bernau's art developed from graphic design. This origin influences the approach, coloring and composition to this day. Borrowed from classical painting is the intensive study of different characters and their gestures. The artist achieves motivic lightness through the reduction to the posture of the figures. When painting digitally, she experiments with different brushes and color gradients until the minimalist drawings achieve a strong expression. She describes herself as a representative of her generation, who uses analogue and digital craftsmanship and mixes materials from both worlds on an equal footing. Rebecca Bernau was born in 1982 in aachen. She studied graphic design at the university of wuppertal. Today she lives and works in munich.
