Sobre el Artista

Ulla Wobst Fascination Mystery Two passions-that for art and that for literature-have accompanied me from the very beginning. The one for literature led me to my first profession. After having studied philology (German and English literature and language) I became headmaster at a German Gymnasium, responsible for the language and fine art department and teacher for German, English and drama. Teaching children and young grown-ups literature, analytically and creatively, was a great pleasure. I put on stage many theatre plays , especially by Shakespeare and by international playwrights of the 20th century. Parallely - as an autodidact- I got myself informed about the history of art and continued developping my ability as a painter, experimenting with different materials, colours and techniques which let me find my very own style . This can be described as mainly figurative but often mixed with abstract elements and here and there with a slight surrealistic touch. I have never ever lacked of themes that come to me by the things lived and experienced , and by those imagined, felt. dreamed or thought of. But the scale of themes is not limited to all this for in the realms of mind , spirit, and soul there are no boundaries. My main interest is directed towards man and the mystery he is surrounded by from the very beginning to the very end and beyond that... Thus painting became my second main profession and since 2001 I have been working as a free-lance artist in my atelier in Dortmund, Germany.. I was born in Gelsenkirchen-Buer, Germany , I'm married and have two children. homepage : https://www.atelier-ulla-wobst.de Exhibitions ( current year only) 2014 Jan. 24 - March 11 : Berlin, LDXARTODROME Gallery March 15 - March 31 Monreale Sicily, Museum of Modern and Comtemporary Art April 24 - April 27 Art Peking, LDXARTODROME Gallery September 4 - October 10, Hamburg, Galerie Marziart September 16 - October 19, Los Angeles, World Wide Art, Artavita Prizes (the latest ones only ) : 2012 , Art of the Mind, Museo d'Arte Chianciano , Honourable Mention of ECAC 2013 January : 1st prize for painting, Anglo-Italian Academy of Art Award 2013 September : 1. prize for painting, Anglo-Italian Academy of Art Award 2013 December : Palm Art Award , Leipzig, Special Prize Winsor and Newton 2013 , 8th Artavita Contest, Hnourable Mention Certificate
