This painting is inspired by my own fascination with the freedom of travel. During my journeys in a 4x4, particularly through the sun-drenched landscapes of Spain, I have repeatedly come across people travelling with rucksacks, in campervans or on motorbikes.
I was particularly impressed by the motorcyclists. They travel with very little luggage, but with the freedom to carry on at any time. One particular sighting of motorcyclists in the Italian mountains, at an altitude of almost 2,600 metres, has stayed with me. I am particularly fascinated by the independence and courage of women who set off on their own, without knowing exactly where the next leg of their journey will take them.
‘Fahrplanlos’ therefore stands for the freedom of not always having to have a fixed plan. A few days here, then on to the next place; deciding spontaneously, discovering new paths and embracing wherever the journey takes you.
For me, the image also represents a personal dream: setting off, carrying very little with me, and yet still feeling complete freedom.

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.
