Dorothee Vermaaten
Dorothee Vermaaten
was born in Kleve. She studied Art in Siegen with
Professor Krahl and with Professor Waßermé in
Neuss. Today she lives and works in Stolberg and
frequently exhibits her artwork in international
exhibitions in Europe, USA, Africa and Asia.
Dorothee Vermaaten‘s abstract artistic vision
invites viewers on an emotional journey of color, by
exploring experiences of the world and transcribes
them into painted compositions. Boldly expressive,
with a rich and tactile surface alive with pigment,
her dynamic brushstrokes morph into gestural suggestions
of semi-abstract figures, offering a sense
of memory and narrative. As she builds her acrylic
on canvas oeuvre, her work synthesizes into personal
emotional prisms which explode into a blend
of abstract movement and texture. The artist’s
process is at once intuitive and spontaneous as
she draws upon internal inspirations and carefully
reworks each detail to reflect her unique inner
vision.
Dorothee Vermaaten demonstrates a diversity
of emotional experiences in each of her abstract
works by creating her own reality that it unconstrained
by rules or conventions. The recipient of
various awards in Europe, Dorothee Vermaaten has
been showcased in several solo and group exhibitions
in her native country, as well as abroad.
