Waltraud Rieken is a contemporary artist living in Berlin. She is working freelance in the advertising industry for 16+ years. Her greatest passion has always been and is art.

She captures the buzz of the city and the people and skillfully transforms this into form and color. Intuitive surfaces and overlays are formed and thus always create surprising details. The displacement of color creates boundaries, which in turn are broken up by other elements.

For Rieken, intuition, honesty and freedom
are the most important things when painting.
