Ragna Regenbogen: Germany
Ragna grew up in the Ruhr area of Germany. After an apprenticeship as a glass painter in Taunusstein, followed by a degree in fashion design in Bielefeld, she moved to Munich.
She started working on canvas during her years studying in Bielefeld. During a long period away from the canvas, Ragna left behind the representational working style of her early years and took an interest in a different type of abstract painting.
Objects dominate the topics in many of Ragna’s works with the transformation of abstracted shapes and lines. Independent of a subject, Ragna’s particular artistic interest lies in textured surfaces, created by spattling compounds as well as providing a depth of colour which arises through the layering of all kinds of materials containing different coloured pigments.
Ragna finds inspiration for her work in her immediate surroundings, the environment, and nature. In its opulence of textures, in its complexity of colours, in its constant cycle of renewal and decay.
Ragna has participated in a number of exhibitions in both Germany and Switzerland.
