German based, Lanzaroteña at heart.
Christiane Mauer is an artist living and working in Germany and Lanzarote, Islas Canarias. Her expressive contemporary artworks are inspired by the calming yet vibrant atmosphere & uniqueness of Lanzarote Island – one of the eight inhabited Canary Islands located in the Atlantic Ocean.
Contemporary art with concept & intuition.
Christianes artistic expression is driven by curiosity – leading to experimetation with various techniques and new materials. She likes to think in terms of concepts at first, before she lets her intuition and emotional impulses guide her throughout the creative process.
"I'm very fortunate to be able to say that I've found my creative safe space on Lanzarote Island. For me, it's a place of tranquility, freedom and happiness."
– Christiane Mauer
The journey is the reward.
Although Christiane has always longed to be an artist since her childhood, she initially didn't take her dream seriously. After academic degrees in media & communication studies, psychology and graphic design and working in the creative industry, she now follows her heart - endlessly fascinated by creative craftsmanship and the creation of modern visual aesthetics through emotional expression and abstraction.
