"With layers of color, I build the space within the painting and immerse myself in a tranquil realm full of peace and deep connection with nature."
– Marion Schmidtke

"My desire to break away from representation results in a visual language that is less anchored in reality, more abstract, and more inclined to directly reveal emotions — a need that is both aesthetic and spiritual."
– Marion Schmidtke
