ABOUT THE ARTIST
Adeline was born in Switzerland and raised in a small historic town in Germany. As a young adult, she moved to New York City where she sought new experiences and expanded her horizon traveling. During this journey Adeline connected with an artist community in the Midwest that brought her life to a turning point. This eclectic group stirred her interest in the arts and guided her desire to be part of a community where creativity and self-expression were held in high esteem. Supporting the visual arts and producing personal work became a lifelong pursuit.
Creating images is an essential need, it is her channel of reflecting and commenting on the world. Adeline strives to reveal the essence of her experiences visually and leans towards the figurative study. Exploring human emotions, thoughts and physicality satisfies her natural curiosity. Stylistically, her work pivots between dreamy, realistic, and at times abstract forms. Adeline resists branding and follows a visual stream of consciousness influenced by her environment, the people around her and the spirit of the moment or Zeitgeist.
