This painting is inspired by my special connection to Spain. Through learning the Spanish language and my travels to this country, I have come to love its culture, the landscapes of the Pyrenees and the Spanish zest for life.
At the centre of the painting is a woman in a flamenco dress. I am fascinated by the passion and expressiveness of this dance. In particular, the flowing movements and the lightness of the dress inspired me to capture a moment full of vitality, spirit and freedom.
For me, ‘Sommerzustand’ symbolises a zest for life, lightness and the feeling of surrendering completely to the moment.

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.
