Franziska Schwade

I'm an abstract painter based in Bremen, Germany. My work is a caleidoscope of inspiration, ideas and impressions and is known for its vibrant colors, contrasts, calligraphic movement and the play between texture and transparency.
And best of all, you can commission me to paint YOUR inspiration. Let's work together! :)

  • A new painting in progress, hiding behind my plant babies. 🌿 Becoming a crazy cliché millennial plant lady made my time at home so much calmer. If the nature is missing in the city, bring home more plants! 🧘‍♀️⁠ ⁠ Do you guys have a happy place? ❤️ Mine are the mountains. I love being high up and enjoying the view. But forests are awesome too. I miss collecting mushrooms 🍄 & blueberries. There are no real forests where I now live, unfortunately.⁠
  • Today I'm craving summertime and bright light. 🌞 How great would it be to jump into ice cold ocean water. Salt in the air. Sun on skin. Sand between toes. Escaping the winter blues.⁠ ⁠ Do you guys have any vacations planned?⁠ ⁠ 📷 From my summer holiday
  • At different times of life there are different marks to be made. Sometimes they are squiggly and erratic, sometimes they are calm and smooth. I think the marks in this close up of a painting I did last year lie somewhere in the middle.⁠ ⁠ Mood is a great influence on anything. ⁠ ⁠ How do you guys work on having a positive mindset?⁠
  • Educate yo self! Knowledge is power.⁠ 💥 Work on your skill set, explore unusual hobbies. Everything leads back to you and your (creative) work. Influences come from all kinds of things & places, usually where you don't even expect them to show up. Do something new once in a while. Get out of your comfort zone. ⁠ ⁠ ❓What's the last book that made an impact on you? I'd love some recommendations! ⁠
  • This is the start of a new series I'm working on. I'm still in the beginning stages of figuring out where to go and how to express those paintings into words.⁠ ⁠ The working title for this series is 'Marginalized'. ⁠ ⁠ It started from my own experiences of feeling like an outsider in today's working environment, where only credentials and not actions seem to count. Where specialization is valued above everything, when there are millions of multi passionate people out there who would bring such new perspectives in a wide variety of topics to every job available. Where creativity is not needed, because most jobs are so dumbed down, they don’t even want you to think for yourself. It’s frustrating to me, how many people don’t get the work they are made for because there’s a missing degree or they don’t get a chance to prove themselves. ⁠ ⁠ It obviously doesn't end there. This is for everyone who feels out of place at times. For everyone who feels caged in or put down in any way. For everyone who's not allowed to express themselves freely, to live freely.⁠ ⁠ This is about breaking free of societies boundaries. About showing your true colors. About taking action and moving forward.⁠ ⁠ All of the paintings in this series are caged in, but they are trying to free themselves. There is layer and depth to every color. They are in motion. They are fighting back.⁠ ⁠ ____________⁠ 'ELEVATION', 30x40cm, acrylics on heavy weight watercolor paper. Available for purchase after series is finished.⁠
  • It's been 3 years since I've last posted here. I couldn't even tell you exactly why I was gone for so long. For a while this platform felt kinda weird to me, like everything was starting to get so superficial. I needed to live my life offline and find some more social hobbies instead (like doing improv! 🥰). Still, I missed communicating with you all, and sharing art and experiences, connecting and learning together.⁠ ⁠ So, excuse this staged studio picture 😁 I just wanted to say hello to my followers who might have forgotten my face. I'm Franzi and I still make abstract paintings 👋 I live in Bremen, Germany and used to be a freelance photographer. I still work for clients from time to time, but my focus is on my art. I also have a little part time job at a fitness center 💪🏋️‍♀️. I love nature & especially mountains. I love watching The Office & Survivor (...who am I kidding, I love a lot of TV shows!). I love following Pearl Jam around on tour. I'm reading and learning more than is necessary. I am way too obsessed with perfume and in the last year I collected more plants than my apartment can handle. I'm also an introvert and shy about posting stuff about myself, so this whole post is a whole bigger deal to me than it should be. 😉⁠ ⁠ I hope to turn my feed into a micro blog in the future. I like to share more of the real feelings of being a self employed creative person. I try not to be too superficial and perfectionistic (is this even a word?). I try to post several times a week. I hope you guys will stay with me! ❤️⁠ ⁠ ❔ What have you guys been up to? Got married? Had kids? Any life changing updates I might have missed?⁠
