Abend 1 (2022) Painting by Christine Schön

Christine Schön is a contemporary German artist whose journey to the world of art took a unique and transformative path. Initially pursuing a degree in philosophy, Schön spent many years as a death mask designer before realizing the imperative need to place art at the forefront of her life.

Undaunted by the challenges of embarking on a new career path later in life, Schön made the bold decision to return to university at the age of 40, effectively starting anew. This experience proved to be both challenging and liberating, providing her with the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an artist. Remarkably, Schön found that her artistic voice and chosen theme were already deeply ingrained within her, requiring no additional effort to unearth.

Since completing her studies in 2012, Schön has been a regular presence in the exhibition circuit, showcasing her work to audiences far and wide. In an era marked by digitization and the burgeoning influence of the internet on the art market, Schön remains steadfast in her belief in the unparalleled value of experiencing original works of art firsthand. For her, the direct and authentic connection forged between artist and viewer through the physical presence of an individual artwork is irreplaceable—a driving force that continues to inspire and motivate her creative endeavors.
