Marika Thom’s paintings are explosions on canvas.
Not only in terms of the colors, but also in terms of the formal approach.
You can really feel the inner power that “takes flight” during the artist’s working process.
Her art is so immediate, direct and full of energy that you wonder where the young painter gets it from.
Willem de Koning once tried to explain it for himself: “The texture of the will comes before everything else. “* Marika Thoms is about precisely this “will”; it is about her irrepressible desire to communicate.
It is the discharge of her inner mind-set that postulates itself as pure, expressive aesthetics on the canvas.
marika thoms
it's about the power within me; it creates attraction
It is only logical that she – consciously or unconsciously – draws on techniques that are known as stylistic devices of abstract expressionism.
Nevertheless, she develops her very own expression and various, clearly defined color harmonies for entire series of paintings.
These harmonies can be assigned to specific creative periods.
This is particularly evident on pages 34/35.
Here we can see how clearly the harmonies are delineated and how their gestures change bit by bit.
Despite the pictorial spontaneity that catches the viewer’s eye, the creation of her works is not a single spontaneous emotional process, but rather the sum of several actions and reflections.
“Nothing falls into my lap.
Painting is hard work and a unique mixture of perpetual reflection and reverie,” says Marika, describing her approach.
This in-depth reflection even goes so far that the artist checks her paintings in the mirror – to see whether the harmony of the composition is also present in the mirror, despite all the “explosions” depicted.
This creates unadulterated truth in the picture.
You can sense this in her works, which is what makes them so appealing.

twelve - more than just a symbol.
The magical 12 beer lines.
Decisive and perfect.
The 12 is the symbol – the zero point of this transformation – like 12 o’clock as the separator of the day, usually symbolized by 12 beer lines, but also in many other forms of expression.
Because there is not just one reality.

"I paint according to the intention of my picture. Sometimes full of power, sometimes very devout. That's why painting always involves intensive preparation. The mood of the subject must be in you. Otherwise it won't be a painting.

Mongi Higgs’ art condenses the “quantum foam” into a “reality” in which creation is revealed in its original form.
Luminous, clear and clean, real consciousness is not superimposed here by the garbage of civilization.
The moment – between the actually existing nothingness and the reality that emerges from it – is the decisive factor for art and, above all, for his personal work.

Marika Thom’s paintings are explosions on canvas.
She lets her mind run free on cotton fabric and transforms colors into contemporary art.
Abstract in modernity, her world radiates in orange.
You can really feel the inner power that “takes flight” during the artist’s working process.
Her paintings are wooosh, rumms, hiss or clap, onomatopoeias or like the light flutter of a wing beat, all full of surprise and as surprising as her life.
Paralegal, gallery owner, activist, mother, graphic designer, certified art therapy painting facilitator and 100 percent artist.
Wow!
Marika Thoms paints and lives in Gardelegen, Saxony-Anhalt.
Her works are traded internationally.
