German painter Cornelia Baltes has a wonderful ability to paint the idea of things. Not the objects themselves but something that’s both right but not quite right, more like capturing an essence or a feeling. In her work I see things that you might not, which is why her playful, almost cartoon style, opens itself up to letting your mind fill in the gaps. The bright gradients she employs are wonderfully offset by the stark additions of black and white, a really lovely contrast.

Currently, she has a lovely show up at Galleri Nicolai Wallner in Copenhagen, if you happen to be in the area.
