Christine Marquardt

Artist Overview
Christine Marquardt is an artist and graphic communication designer whose practice centers on expressive, contemporary painting. Her work bridges design thinking with a bold, painterly approach.

Background
During her studies in graphic communication design, she discovered a lasting fascination with acrylic painting and its techniques, which continue to define her work today. Alongside her independent practice, Christine also creates commissioned works.

Artistic Language & Themes
Her paintings are created through an intuitive and impulsive process, where acrylic, charcoal, and pastel merge into a unified visual language. She often employs splashing techniques to introduce fine details, working with strong color combinations and clearly defined color harmonies. Inspiration frequently comes from her travels, while words occasionally enter the compositions, adding an additional layer of meaning.
Each artwork is created in the moment and guided by intuition, spontaneity, emotional intensity, and a willingness to experiment. Her works are characterized by a strong sense of energy, making them immediately engaging and emotionally resonant.

Collaboration with Artograph
In collaboration with Artograph, Christine’s dynamic compositions and bold color harmonies are translated into prints that turn garments into expressive, contemporary canvases, carrying the same energy and spontaneity as her paintings.
