VanessaOnuk

Vanessa Onuk was born and grew up in and around Frankfurt am Main. While she was fortunate throughout her entire childhood to grow up with an artist as an uncle and to be supported in this area at school, her professional path initially took her into medicine. In 2022, she began to take her painting to a professional level. While she had a clear vision from the start regarding the technique of her pictures - using acrylic paint at different levels of wetness to achieve layers in different textures and strong color gradients and bleeding colors - the question of how to achieve this goal arose early on.

So, she began to follow her inner scientist and experimented with different canvas substrates to achieve the desired result. Since then, she has worked almost exclusively on pure, unprimed linen. This allows for the perfect mix of bleeding colors, random gradients and precise applications. Individual differences can always be achieved through different thicknesses, resulting in a unique vintage finish. Over the last year, she has been fortunate enough to be nominated for the Finalist Awards in three art competitions as well as being featured in several magazines and art magazines, including spotlight magazine. She will also take part in her first group exhibition in Berlin at the end of the year and have her art represented in a respected online gallery.
