About About Beatrix Rohlsen
Born in Austria and raised in Germany, Beatrix Rohlsen now lives in the mountains above Santa Barbara, CA.As an abstract painter, her recent work is known for its visionary and mystical style through the use of oils and acrylics. At an early age, Beatrix was mesmerized by nature's colors which influenced her way of painting.Some of her work reflects nature's changing and diverse panoramas through color, light and design."Beatrix Rohlsen's, abstract paintings suggest the traditions of both American Abstract Expressionism and German expressionist painting, bringing to mind the work of Hans Hoffmann and Gerhard Richter. The paintings feature layers of bold color and contain both mystery, through a suggestion that much more lies beneath the surface, and revelation - in the outright beauty of the brushstrokes. The works defy easy categorization, reflecting the artist's own journey and experience of the world, while suggesting Rorschach dream studies, where we might discover something from our own inner lives." -- Kevin Wallace Director of Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts , Ojai, CA,, Curator and Author. Beatrix Rohlsen's work has been shown at galleries in Southern California, Mississippi and Missouri."What I like most about painting is that one brush stroke can magically open doors to a world of endless opportunities. B.RBeatrix has published a cookbook "The Art of Taste" a giude to vegetarien cooking that features her eclectic and exotic recipes, along with examples of her poetry and paintings.
