Vanessa Onuk (b.1991) is a german painter, based in Frankfurt am Main. While being a passionate painter during childhood and late teens, she´s a self-taught artist. Her works mostly deal with abstract depictions of landscapes or forms that flow into one another and have arisen from the imagination. She has been painting and drawing all her life, but as a trained doctor she has decided to give art a large part of her life again. For her, art is the perfect way to express feelings and to get back to the childlike joy in simple things like craftsmanship, colors and the mere process of creating, which should also remain with us adults for a lifetime.

The process of paintings is defined by heavily layered and mostly transparent acrylic technique on canvas, mostly on pure linen. Particular attention is paid to the blurring of silhouettes and forms, which is intended to reflect the subjective view of a landscape representation. The technique consists of a mixture of sharp lines and color gradients that flow into one another, partly accompanied by freely flowing colors in wet-on-wet technique.
