About

Birgitt Lübkemann lives and works between the Seychelles and Germany. On La Digue, the sea, granite and tropical light shape her painting; in Wennigsen near Hanover it is the open land, the sky, forests and fields. Two landscapes that could not be more different – yet connected by lines that flow like roots and currents across times and continents.

Her paintings emerge in a process-oriented way, built up in many layers and with a wide variety of materials: oil and acrylic paint, ink, chalk, granite dust, sand, even coffee. Tools follow intuition as well – stones, shells, brushes, sponges, or the sea itself can become part of the creative act. Through it all runs the line: as a trace, a movement, a net of life.

Her works have been shown internationally, including at the National Gallery of Seychelles, in Berlin and in Hanover. They embody the connection of inside and outside, of nature and humanity, of depth and lightness. Each painting is part of a larger fabric – a node in the net of life that spans time and space.
