Emotional Jungle

Description: "Emotional Jungle" layers thoughts, emotions, and insights, much like the levels of a dense jungle. The foundation is a calming base, contrasting with the intense emotions above. Powerful brushstrokes release deep compassion and mental tension, while layers of confidence and love bring the piece to life. The painting's glossy and matte elements mirror the variety of thoughts that shaped it. Its wild, raw, and intuitive style, with unfinished edges, underscores the rawness of expression. The message is clear: by confronting our fears, we can free ourselves from burdens and discover beauty from a new perspective.

Katharina Ming- Kaming

Born in 1978 in Düsseldorf, Germany, art has always been at the heart of my life. After leaving behind studies in German philology and social sciences, I followed my passion and began working in my own studios. My path has been unconventional, leading me to a creative practice that brings inner balance and quiets my analytical mind. With a deep appreciation for life and biology, I’m particularly sensitive to the need to protect vulnerable beings, especially animals. I have also trained in animal therapy, which deepens my understanding and compassion for their needs. For many years, I kept my art private, viewing it as a deeply personal expression of my journey. It wasn't until November 2023, after moving to Portugal and the birth of my child, that I felt ready to share my work with the world.

Artist Statement:

My perception and experience of this world traverse all levels and dimensions. I am attuned to the smallest beings and structures as well as the vast processes and networks around me. Nature is my passion, and I feel a profound connection to the unity between all things. This wealth of emotions and impressions finds its way out of me in the form of painting. Through this creative release, I achieve inner balance. 

I let forms and colors flow freely, without judgment, allowing them to emerge naturally. When I paint, I lose all sense of time—hours pass in a flash, offering balm to my soul. This process enables me to align my innermost self, channeling gratitude, love, stress, and even the analytical thoughts of daily life into an expressive release.
