Monika Sieveking
Monika Sieveking (* 1944 in Potsdam ) is a German painter and draftsman .
Life
Monika Sieveking was born in Potsdam in 1944. From 1964 to 1970 she studied at the University of the Arts in Berlin with Hans Jaenisch and Heinz Trökes ( master class student ).
In addition to around 50 solo exhibitions at home and abroad, she can look back on numerous exhibition participations.
After completing her studies, she developed a varied artistic work committed to realistic visual art. Her picture subjects deal with people and everyday situations and testify to a wide range of artistic techniques, from drawing, lithography, watercolor to panel painting, large-format altar paintings and even wall paintings and numerous portraits. After 1989 she successfully renewed her representational painting in a particularly expressive manner, with regard to the colors, the subjects she chose and the willingness to experiment with new artistic techniques.
She also works as an art lecturer in youth art schools , summer academies in Bremerhaven and in workshops with mouth and foot painters, Potsdam.
Monika Sieveking lives and works in Berlin.
