ROHSCHNITT-COLLAGEN
Roswitha Mueller is a self-taught collageartist based in Germany. In her collages she reuses found and selfmade images mixed with acrylic paint to transform it in a total new composition. She highlights people, places, architecture and nature, melting them together in a powerful colored way. In every artwork one can find embedded stories, inspired by daily life and other experiences. Coming from an professionel background as carpenter, artteacher and socialworker, she is deeply interested to share her "snippets" of the world and encourage others to find their own artistic expression. She runs collageworkshops for youth and adults, always delighted by the processes and the results.
Roswitha Mueller analog collages are in solo- and groupexhibitions in southern Germany since 2016. Her artworks were shown in cultur houses, cafes,hospitals, offices, shops and at streetfestivals. She was invited to the Kolaj-Collage-Festival in 2019 and was part of the exhibition „timebandits“ in the Collapse-Gallery in Wenatchee, USA. Actually she is represented by Casa AR in a Pop-Up-Gallery in her hometown Schwabach.
Roswitha Mueller ist eine in Deutschland lebende Autodidaktin im Bereich der Collagekunst. In ihren Collagen verwendet sie gefundene und selbstgemachte Bilder, die sie mit Acrylfarbe vermischt, um sie in eine völlig neue Komposition zu verwandeln. Sie verbindet in ihren Collagen Menschen, Orte, Architektur und Natur kraftvoll, oft überraschend und eigene Assoziationen des Betrachters anregend. In jedem Kunstwerk finden sich eingebettete Geschichten, inspiriert durch das tägliche Leben und andere Erfahrungen. Mit ihrem beruflichen Hintergrund als Schreinerin, Kunstlehrerin und Sozialarbeiterin ist sie sehr daran interessiert, ihre „Schnipsel“ mit der Welt zu teilen und andere zu ermutigen, ihren eigenen künstlerischen Ausdruck zu finden. Sie leitet Collage-Workshops für Jugendliche und Erwachsene und ist immer wieder begeistert von den Prozessen und den Ergebnissen.

Statement
Visual communication always fascinated me. But it wasn`t intended to make a living out of it. Besides my professionell careers , i decided to set up a creative practice with acrylicpainting over many years. I learned from different artists in my region of South Germany. All this led me to collageart, which is the form of art i fell in love with. It gives me the possibility and the freedom to play and compose with an immense pool of materials, which are easy to access. I work on stretched canvas and paper or wood in small and lage sizes. Normally i start with an image, iam interested in. I follow the form, the color, the texture and the subject, and let it grow to something new. I chose the materials and forms carefully and without pushing the process. This needs often more patience i usually think i have but at the end i find mostly, its worth it! I love the process with the material and the challenge of a larged sized canvas. Collageart is an adventure and a passion iam very humbled that ive found it. Now, as iam older, i love to create and to share my views about people, landscapes, architecture and nature with even more joy and time.
