This work depicts an independent, free woman. A woman who lives in the moment, is in touch with herself and does not allow herself to be constrained by societal expectations. She stands in the rain, arms outstretched, head tilted back, savouring every second. She feels every single drop on her skin, at one with herself and the world around her.
I painted this picture because I believe that women should have the freedom simply to be themselves. To live in the here and now, without justification, without restrictions. This piece is a tribute to all women who have the courage to be themselves.
This piece was created in the Habibi Studio, my creative retreat. It is the first large-scale painting of this size that I have created using oil paint. It is all the more special to me that it was also exhibited right there, in the Habibi Studio.

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.
