Bio

Rebecca Sanders is a German visual artist who challenges our understanding of and interaction with art. Her work explores the depths of the self, inviting introspection, self-reflection and the expansion of our spiritual awareness. Her surreal and mysterious female portraits act as mirrors for the viewer's own inner world and as invitations for profound self-exploration - constituting an invisible portal between the subconscious, the unconscious, and the unseen dimensions of our existence. Her thought-provoking psycho-spiritual short texts, which she shares on her social media accounts, encourage us to reflect on our previous perspectives on life and ourselves.

Statement

My artistic work deviates significantly from the traditional definition of my profession, both in my approach and in the presentation of my artworks. I am not guided by academic standards and I do not orient myself at the customs and expectations within the art world - because my kind of art isn´t about intellectual engagement with my images, objects, or my artist persona, but enirely about the inner world of the observer. Therefore, I don´t define myself as an artistic craftswoman, but as as someone who redirects and reshapes people´s perception and their so far understanding of life & themselves by using the transformative power of art.

My images aren´t representations of the world, but condensations of inner realities that make the unconscious and the metaphysical visible in their full intensity - touching deeper psychological & energetic levels within the observer. They emerge from an inner space of intuition and the unconscious, beyond the conventional perspectives and evaluations of the world - operating at the intersection of psychology, non-religious spirituality, and metaphysics. They delve into the deepest layers of human existence - offering a space for profound personal insights. However, I am not guided by theoretical ideas and concepts, but by my personal perception of the world.

My works challenge the viewer to engage with their own interpretations and feelings - serving as a catalyst for self-reflection, inner transformation, and for accessing the invisible and intangible. They aren´t provided with titles or background stories and I do not explain my artworks, as there is no meaning behind them except from the meaning someone sees in it. I don´t talk about my work process, my techniques, or any other aspects refering to my artist practise or career. My exhibitions are designd so that they don´t offer any space for self-staging, selfies, or intellectual engagement rooted in academic, theoretical, or technical art discourses. Instead, I confront the viewer with the art only - without detours, without anything else their rational and analytical mind could hold onto. What remains is the immediate resonance with the image itself and pure self-confrontation - the opposite pole to our fast-paced and outward-oriented world.

This approach may be radical and unconventional, but it is exactly what defines my work. It ignores convenctions & boundaries and seeks to break them – within us, and within the context of what art is supposed or allowed to be. In my art form, all that matters is what happens between the viewer and my art - with me acting like a conductor who makes sure that the frequencies during a performance are in perfect harmony.

For curators, and collaborators interested in contemporary psycho-spiritual art, I am open to discussions and collaborative projects. If you are a collector interested in purchasing one of my works, please reach out to me by using to contact sheet to receive further informations regarding my limited editions.

I do not see myself as an artistic craftswoman, and my art is not to be found in the material aspects of my images. What I actually do is to use my skill to redirect people´s into world into new directions by using the transformative power of art. Therefore, my works aren´t created for decorative or intellectual purposes. Rather, they offer the opportunity to withdraw from the external world and conventional understandings of life & reality - shaped by predefined paradigms and social expectations.  

I don’t work in series, and my works are neither titled nor dated with intention. Because my art is not made to be analyzed, categorized, or historically classified. It is meant to be felt and received – not understood. It targets presence, perception, intuition, and the silent dialogue between artwork and observer. To make this possible, I don´t offer any storytelling, background narratives, and no statements regarding my artistic process, my techniques, or my biography. Futhermore, my exhibitions are designd so that they don´t offer any space for self-staging, selfies, or intellectual engagement rooted in academic, theoretical, or technical art discourses.
