This artwork depicts a woman at the moment of setting off. Sitting in front of an aeroplane, she appears full of anticipation and a spirit of adventure. Her gaze radiates self-confidence as she looks forward to what lies ahead. Perhaps it is the moment just before take-off, or perhaps a brief pause before the next adventure. But one thing is palpable: the longing to fly, for freedom, and simply to set off.
The woman stands for independence, courage and the freedom to go her own way. She embodies a woman who won’t let anything hold her back, who follows her dreams and decides for herself where her journey will take her. The aeroplane thus becomes a symbol of boundless possibilities and the courage to venture into the unknown.
I paint women who go their own way, free, self-determined and full of joie de vivre. Women who have the courage to set off, to take their longings seriously and to shape their lives according to their own vision.

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.
