In the early phases of her work, Hilla Jablonsky made a name for herself as a portrait and landscape painter and received recognition for her works. In the 1980s and 1990s she then focused more on Informel, which emancipated itself from geometric form to make room for emotions and spontaneity.

Jablonsky's works have been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany and internationally, including Vienna, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Seoul, Dublin and St. Petersburg. For her artistic work she received the Dr.-Theobald-Simon Art Prize (1989) as well as the renowned August Macke Medal of the City of Bonn (1999) and other prizes. Her works are today in public collections as well as in important private collections at home and abroad.

“Hilla Jablonsky's visual world leaves the observer with wide latitude for perception. Her compositions stand in the tradition of Informel, which celebrated the spontaneous gesture. Often they arise on the basis of inner emotional states. In her tireless insistence on subjectivity, Jablonsky turns moments of happiness and cheerfulness, restlessness and fear, anger and sorrow into a battlefield of splashes of color, lines, and graphic symbols. The remarkable thing: in the end there is an order of harmonious balance.” (Marion Leske, art writer)

As a painter, draftsman, and lyricist, Hilla Jablonsky developed over decades a distinctive, powerful visual language. Her large-format, color-intense compositions combine gestural dynamism with structural density and are characterized by a high sensitivity to rhythm, surface, and materiality. In addition to acrylic and pastel works, she experimented with collages, unusual materials, and performances.

After her training with Alexej von Assaulenko, Cameron Hoover, Franz Radziwill, and Albert Paris Gütersloh, she worked as a freelance artist since 1968. She was co-founder of the Frauenmuseum Bonn, honorary chairwoman of GEDOK Bonn, and served as a juror in numerous art committees.
