Right in the heart of the English Garden, a wave forms in the Eisbach that has long since become an integral part of Munich’s urban culture. Surfers, spectators and walkers gather here all year round – a place of movement, encounters and spontaneous freedom right in the city centre.
With loose, flowing layers of colour, the painting captures the dynamism of the Eisbach wave. Shades of green and turquoise evoke the water and the riverside landscape, whilst light, fluid forms hint at the energy of the standing wave – a painterly impression of a place that has become a symbol of urban vitality for many Munich residents.

Caren Weeks
exploration of the figurative tradition and the freedom of painterly processes.
At the heart of her work lies the tension between figuration and abstraction. Female figures frequently appear as silent protagonists – sometimes clearly present, sometimes fragmentary or embedded in open spaces of colour. They become vessels for moods, memories and inner narratives.
Weeks’ works open up poetic pictorial spaces that deliberately elude a single, unambiguous interpretation. Instead, they invite the viewer to develop their own associations and stories.
The artist draws inspiration from the people around her, from symbolic motifs, the theatre, fairy tales and dream worlds. From these impulses emerges a rich, atmospheric visual language in which reality and imagination overlap.
A distinctive colour palette and the balance between draughtsmanlike precision and painterly freedom characterise her works.
Caren Weeks works with oil, acrylic and charcoal on canvas.
"“For me, painting is a space of freedom. Here I can leave behind the expectations and fixed rules of reason and logic. The result is paintings that do not lay everything out in fixed terms, but rather open up spaces for moods, questions and the stories that end differently in the mind of every viewer.”
