welcome to my studio

Acrylic is the main medium I use to express my inner world. I also paint with acrylic pencils and try my hand at almost all painting media, including gouache, watercolor and oil.

I am fascinated by the abstract, chaotic and contradictory aspects of life.

The sheer existence and emotional hustle and bustle of human beings, who are caught up in contradictions through sheer living.

My vision is to capture the many facets of life on canvas, uncensored and raw, yet with sensitivity, grace and passion.

I want to use a spatula to smooth out on canvas the torn feelings that result from an intensely stimulating existence, existential questions and the complexity and interconnectedness of everyday life.

My name is Jennifer Glinka and I am an artist from Aachen. Creatively inclined since childhood, I found my way to painting in 2018. As a writer, I recognized in painting a way to do justice to the intensity and complexity of some feelings, thoughts and visions in expression - where language reaches its limits.
