Dea Theinert is a self-taught artist from Hamburg whose powerful, tactile acrylic and oil paintings captivate with dynamic palette knife techniques and expressive worlds of color. Her subjects tell stories of the freedom of the sea, the elegance of horses, the atmosphere of Hamburg, and the fascination of feminine forms.

From New Beginnings to Passion

Dea Theinert turned to painting during a phase of personal and professional reorientation in mid-life. What began as a bold experiment quickly developed into a deep artistic passion. Her works reflect this courage to change as well as an intuitive, life-affirming creative power.

Technique: Tactile texture through palette knives & rubber spatulas

For her multi-layered compositions, Dea Theinert predominantly uses high-quality acrylic and oil paints. The central element of her working method is the tactile surface design:

  • Palette knife & spatula technique: The paint is applied dynamically using a palette knife or rubber spatula.
  • Tactile texture & depth: Relief-like layers of paint give the paintings a tangible three-dimensionality that goes far beyond the visual.

Subjects: Hamburg, Sea, Horses & Femininity

Her thematic worlds are closely intertwined with her personal inspirations:

  • Hamburg & The Sea: Maritime moods, coastal impressions, and the atmosphere of her home city of Hamburg.
  • Dynamics of horses: The power and grace of horse motifs in motion.
  • Feminine forms: Sensitive, multi-layered representations of the female silhouette.
“Art is love and the most beautiful connection to one another.”
