Artistic concept
Doris Conrads works on large skyscapes that transport the viewer into the clearly expanded space of the sky and the entire universe. The often large-format works are created with chalk on paper or in watercolor on linen. Seas of clouds, star landscapes, gray to black-and-blue color landscapes spread out in layers in peace and in a slow work process.
