Greta Kriek

About Greta

Greta is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

Greta Kriek’s abstracts in mixed medium are her version of aerial photos and satellite images of the South African landscape. The works investigate the relationship between line and colour. The influences of abstract artists like Rothko, Paul Klee and Reinhard can be seen in the artworks.

The artworks focus on the emotional aspects of colour. The goal is to capture basic human emotions, tragedy, ecstasy, isolation, pain and joy. The emotional reaction of the spectator then becomes the meaning of the work.

Greta says she agrees with Dubuffet’s statement “Art should always induce some anguish and some smiles”.

Price Range

US$40-40
