AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original painting on canvas – acrylic & oil pastel – 90 × 60 cm
Shipping rolled without frame
With “Boloria Pales Abstract” an expressive, large-format original painting presents itself, translating the form of a butterfly into a free, abstracted visual language.
The work combines acrylic painting with drawn passages in oil pastel. Luminous orange, red and gold tones shape the depiction, while dark, spontaneously laid lines and areas create a tense contrast to the color-rich image surface. The visible brushstrokes, overlays and drawing interventions give the painting a deliberately immediate, lively effect.
The title “Boloria Pales” refers to the high-alpine or Pales fritillary (Boloria pales). It is less about a precise scientific depiction and more about an artistic interpretation of its characteristic form. The butterfly becomes the starting point for an autonomous composition between concreteness and abstraction.
Art-historical classification places the work in the tradition of Expressionism and informal or gestural abstraction. As in these movements, the emphasis is not on an exact reproduction of the visible world, but on the emotional impact of color, line, movement and materiality. The combination of painterly and drawing elements likewise recalls the breaking down of classical boundaries between painting and drawing, which especially in 20th-century art was increasingly practiced.

Andrea Krauß, winner of the AOK Nordost Art Prize in Berlin/Brandenburg and fellow at the Künstlerhaus Lukas in Ahrenshoop, is a graduate of the Braunschweig University of Art (HbK Braunschweig). She has been passionately involved with painting since her youth and now lives and works in a studio in the old imperial post office in the heart of Berlin.
Her acrylic paintings, which focus on the beauty of nature, are inspired by personal recollection but go beyond it. Her aim is to create an atmosphere through painting. Her works are today part of numerous private collections and are shown in galleries, museums and prominent art exhibitions.
Seller's Story
Andrea Krauß counts among the striking figures of contemporary German painting. The recipient of the AOK Nordost Art Prize (Berlin/Brandenburg) and former fellow of the renowned Künstlerhaus Lukas in Ahrenshoop completed her studies at the Braunschweig University of Art. For many years she has consistently dedicated herself to painting and today lives and works in her studio in the heart of Berlin.
At the center of her artistic work lies the connection between memory, atmosphere and landscape. Starting from personal impressions, Andrea Krauß develops imagery that points beyond the individual and touches universal experiences of nature, space and transience. Recurring motifs are especially birches and other elements of nature, whose quiet presence merges with traces of human shaping and memory.
Characteristic of her works is the layered combination of painting and drawing. In her acrylic paintings, fine relief structures arise through the use of sand, spatula techniques and integrated lines, giving the works a special tactile quality and spatial depth. The lines drawn directly into the color layers act like inscribed memories and shape the artist’s unmistakable handwriting.
Andrea Krauß’s works have been presented in galleries, museums and renowned exhibitions and today reside in numerous private collections. Her works impress with their poetic force, their atmospheric density, and the sensitive connection between nature observation and personal memory.
