This painting arose from a desire to let go of control and give the moment more space. It is about taking that inner step away from constant planning and towards greater trust, lightness and spontaneity.
I am fascinated by that state just before setting off: when not everything has been decided yet, but it is precisely in that uncertainty that a special kind of freedom lies. A mixture of anticipation, courage and the conscious decision not to have to think everything through. Instead, space is created for intuition, for experience and for whatever reveals itself along the way.
Inspired by my own journey between structure and letting go, this work represents precisely this shift in perspective: allowing the mind to quieten down and surrendering to life in a slightly more unplanned way – with confidence, openness and the willingness simply to set off.

Vanessa Marscholek
Her painting is characterised by a sensitive handling of oil as a medium, through which intimacy and presence unfold simultaneously. Figures emerge and assert themselves within the pictorial space without being clearly defined. They remain in motion, open to interpretation. This creates a tension between visibility and inner experience, inviting viewers to reflect on their own notions of freedom and identity.
Vanessa Marscholek has been studying Art Therapy (BA) at the Medical School Hamburg, Campus Arts and Social Change, since 2023 and is currently in her sixth semester.
From late 2023 to early 2026, she volunteered at the Habibi Atelier in Hamburg, where she was involved in the conception and organisation of exhibitions for charitable purposes. In this role, she collaborated with over 40 Hamburg-based artists and supported, amongst others, the Sternenbrücke children’s hospice (2024) and the Löwenhaus children’s and youth centre (2025).
She lives and studies in Hamburg.
