Lisa Kreuziger is a German-born painter artist who has lived and worked in Germany and in the USA.
Her abstract works are mainly influenced by Abstract Expressionism and Color Field Painting. They range from gestural stroke paintings to lyrical explorations into the possibilities of fields, lines, color, and texture.
Her figurative works are also abstracted from literal likeness. By means of reduction, distortion, and exaggeration she often creates new anatomies or environments.
Unlike artists who seek to visually shift the perception of reality, Lisa Kreuziger intends to convey her own complex inner workings and reveal the way she perceives her outer world. Her paintings, both abstract and figurative, communicate from inside out.
