Marion Kotyba

Marion Kotyba was born on August 16, 1968 in Kulmbach. Further artistic training through lecturers and art symposiums. She has had her own studio since 2008 and is also intensively active in children's and adult education in the field of art. Freelance artist since 2010. Since November 2017, owner of the KUNSTGALERIE & Atelier at Oberhacken 3, Kulmbach. The prominent feature in Marion Kotyba's art is the theme of 'rust and aging' as a stylistic device in abstract acrylic painting. In this context, the artist repeatedly interprets the interplay of color, light, structures and technical implementation in an artistically impressive power of interpretation that is both new and exciting at the same time. Recently, observations of natural weather influences - rusted surfaces, broken structures, glazes and the combination thereof - have played an important role. In doing so, the artist works out her concerns in clearly defined groups of works, primarily in a non-objective manner, in order to offer the viewer of her work enough freedom to let their own imagination run wild on an abstract level of representation. The versatile and experimental artist takes the freedom to choose style, color and technique according to her mood. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -------------------- Exhibitions: Regional/National: Kulmbach, Neudrossenfeld, Coburg, Thurnau, Kronach, Bonn, Rathingen, Berlin, Auerbach/Vogtland, Plauen, Marktredwitz, Selb, Passau, Cologne, Bad Berneck, Fürth, Frankfurt, Bad Elster, Bad Staffelstein, Hof, Munich, Bad Münder, Wetzlar, Altenkunstadt, Bad Windsheim, Münchberg, Darmstadt, Essen, Dorsten, Essen, Herzogenrath, Monheim, Gemünden am Main, Ratingen, Monheim, Bonn, Cologne International: Italy, Austria, France, Slovakia, Malta, Serbia, Lithuania, USA, Netherlands, Spain, Hong Kong Awards: Palm ART Award 2016 Certificate of Excellence Gallery representation: LDXArtodrome, Berlin, Galerie Goossenaerts, Bad Honnef Purchases Private collectors from Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and the United States Artothek Bayreuth (acquisition 2022)
