ESSENCE EXPRESSIONISM

“When I commissioned the painting, I felt that a great change was approaching within me — as if I knew that, from the age of 50 onward, I would want to and be able to express myself in a new way. Today, this painting hangs opposite my bed. To me, the person in it radiates inner calm and a certain wisdom — as if it were the completion of my being. Whenever I feel that same inner peace that I perceive in the painting, I know I am on the right path. And indeed, so much has already changed in my life…”

"This picture reminds me of what I convey in my work: that life experiences itself through us. That every form, every body, every breath is a response from the cosmos. We are not separate. We are its perception. Nadja saw this. She let it happen. That is her art—seeing and letting happen at the same time. I feel great gratitude for this picture, which is not a portrait, but a gateway."

“Wonderful Nadja, I remember the moment you handed me the portrait so vividly.
It was the first time I saw it — and you were watching me.
Ohhhhhhhh! I said, as so much happened inside me all at once.
Recognition found me. Wonder. Clarity and confusion — all at once.
The portrait touched me in a way I had never experienced before.
It felt as if, in that single moment, I could touch every part of who I am.
Directly. Simply. Without hiding. I felt truly seen.
‘It needs a name,’ you said, and smiled — because you understood.
And just a few moments later, the name came to me: ONE.”

“Sometimes, words are not enough...This painting is more than just a portrait... it is an energetic reflection of the frequencies that I share. A manifestation of energy, vibration, and sacred resonance. A patient has immortalized me in this form, and I can feel the energy she woven into it. I can feel the energy she infused into every detail. This is more than art, it is a transmission of light.”

“I assisted the auction of an entrepreneur‘s-portrait by Nadja. What an energetic map of the personality! This is not only artwork for eternity, but also one with high symbolic value.“

“The portrait enables me to discover new aspects in my mother‘s personality and to rediscover intimate, almost forgotten ones. Nadja managed to conjure familiarity, so I feel like coming home to mom any time I view her portrait.”

“The portrait helps me to open an inner door, which I knew existed but was invisible tome.”

“So much beauty shown in my portrait ... yet in the beginning I just saw a perceived „stray field“. It translated into one of my strongest attributes, the power of which I could feel during the presentation and after. The portrait is my artistic MIRROR.”
