A short break from your day, every day. You come back calmer, or with new energy.
Looking for art that does more than decorate a room, art that holds you for a moment? Art that carries a story and an intention? Then take a look around.

Philip Strüwer
You are stressed, exhausted, restless, your head is full, or you simply want to unwind. We all know that feeling. With my art, I want to step in right there, or even before, so it never gets that far. For me, a work has succeeded when it gives you something to hold on to for a moment, pulls you out of your everyday life, and gives you energy back. Calm that lasts, even the hundredth time you look at the painting, because you sink into it anew each time. Creating that depth is what drives me most to make my art.
My paintings still have this effect on me, even years later. With some of them, I deliberately go beyond calm: when I look away from the painting, I feel new energy and strength. The strength to do what you have been itching to do is what I aim for with these paintings.

Exhibitions
For six weeks, from mid-January through late February 2022, my paintings hung at the cultural association on Frauenstraße in Münster. I chose the title “Verrückt” because the whole thing felt crazy to me: at 18, having painted on and off for four years, I suddenly got to exhibit my work. At the same time, something in my life shifted toward art. In German, “verrückt” means both crazy and shifted.
Through a sale and a lot of positive feedback, I learned a great deal about my art and how it affects people. It was the first of three exhibitions that year. After that, my paintings were shown at the “Lange Nacht der Kunst” in Gütersloh and in the online exhibition “Quadrat.”
