ndlr: Today is International Artist Day and to celebrate it yearlong – I have kicked off a new category on Netdiver: ART!
Stef Thiele is a painter living in Hamburg and happens to be the one artist – I admire the most. Her work is so modern and versatile. It can even translate well into marketing campaigns..
_______
Having observe her evolution over the past year or so – is an indication of greatness in becoming. She is the first artist I feature on Netdiver mag. Not the last! Stay tuned.
_______
Excerpt from her artist manifesto:
I am a viking. But despite my own uncompromising determination, my works consist of a difficult-to-describe mix of euphoric "what if’s" and melancholic “could have been’s”.
_______
The yearning for spontaneity and freedom collides with the compulsion to try to foresee the future and plan it meticulously. This is translated into busy, colourful compositions that are seemingly unable to find a clear focus.
_______
Often whole pictures are buried beneath the surface of a completed work, with only tiny parts of the past peeking through the hundreds of layers of thick brushstrokes and poured and thrown acrylic paint. Each picture is a battlefield – a back and forth between giving up control and winning it back.

The only way to ‘decipher’ what the image is about is by capturing its Q-R-Code. If you don’t – you (and I) will judge the ‘story’ based on our subjective sensibilities and values.
Take time to view the project. Isn’t this a brilliant social essay?
Need I say more? At least, we’ve got the World Peace logo as a starter – designed by talented Gabriel Benderski.

Editorial addendum
Red hot on my mind is ‘content‘.. visual and written. What and how – staged or not – to show? What and how – personal or not – to write?
My eureka moment came when I realized I wanted to share my ‘explorations’ – as a big eye wanderer and record the ‘journey’.
That’s it. Simple. No limits – no constraints – no agenda – no schedule – no performance – no imaginary crowd to please.
I am on the ‘move’ creatively – an artistic explorer of sort – this is who I am – so who I am I – I will share.
