Life

Bockemühl completed her training in Trier, Münster and Barcelona with Markus Lüpertz , Elvira Bach , Xenia Hausner and Hetty Krist . In 1990/91 she completed a degree in portrait painting with the sculptor and portrait painter Ricci von Riggenbach. Sabina Bockemühl also learned from the designer Dieter Sieger at Harkotten Castle in Münsterland. Study visits to the USA and Spain , as well as training in wall painting , trompe l'oeil and facade painting followed.

The "Yellow House" in Murnau

Bockemühl has been a member of the Professional Association of Visual Artists in Munich since 1997, previously in Wuppertal.

Works

Bockemühl combines a neo-expressionist style with influences from Pop Art . She almost exclusively paints large-format works in intense colors. The works are created from numerous layers of paint that she applies one after the other, and through the incorporation of various materials that suggest a three-dimensionality in the pictures.
