Artist Statement

"Through my paintings, I seek to give form to the unseen, coming along with a longing for harmony through color and composition. It’s a rhythm that creates these intentions,not the other way. A play of connection, conversation and feelings translated into language through lyrical abstraction. Through this practice I want to discover what lies within and see where a vision will take me–willing to deal with overcoming’s and acceptance. I see my work as a continuation of causalities, beginning with the initial confrontation and creative act during my process, and living on through what others will discover within in it. My intention is to convey a sensibility that encourages observers to pause for a moment and connect with themselves, experiencing a sense of peace and wonder ultimately allowing us to be and feel alive"

With the paintings of Cologne-based artist Atina Rabou, we enter the world of the unconscious and lyrical abstraction. Her works are non-representational and characterized by energetic colour compositions.

Atina Rabou draws inspiration from personal experiences and feelings, which she processes in her creative work through an abstract lens, driven by the desire to create harmony.
