REBECCA SANDERS

Visual Artist

BIO

Rebecca Sanders is a German visual artist. Her surreal and mystical photographic images predominantly depict female figures in introspective moods. In her works, psychological and metaphysical dimensions converge—embodied through the sensitivity and subtle sensuality of her protagonists.

Sanders’ work aims to open inner experiential spaces where presence and feeling, rather than thinking, take precedence. Her photo-graphic art invites an intuitive engagement that allows for individual resonance. The Artist lives and works location-independently.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My intention as an artist is to create spaces of consciousness in which the rational mind of the observer becomes silent, allowing intuition and imagination to take over instead. For this reason, I keep my art free of any information or details that might overshadow this connection.

My work defies artistic traditions and common perspectives on art. It arises neither from planning nor concepts, and it doesn't conform to the conventional standards of the art world. Engaging with my art means to surrender—to feel rather than to categorize or to judge.

In my art, which encompasses not only my images but above all the guidance of the viewer’s perception toward themselves, aspects such as my techniques, or exhibition history play no role. Because my art is not an object but a language that serves as a mediator between the visible and invisible layers of human existence. At this point, my close inner connection with Marina Abramović becomes clear, who has firmly established art as a medium for transformation and self-knowledge in the art world.

It is no coincidence that predominantly female figures appear in my works, portrayed in a mystical-surreal visual language, as the feminine has always stood for the unconscious and the theme of intuition—central themes in my work.
