Birgit Moldenhauer

I am Birgit, a German artist and painter.

I’ve been creating and painting all my life. Ever since I can remember, I’ve always loved to draw and paint and create things using whatever materials I had on hand.

I painted my first larger paintings with oil paints and inspired by my travels through Europe, I created Italian landscapes, Dutch sceneries, and still life paintings.

In 2011 I had the opportunity to live in China for 6 years and there I met Laoshi Chen Jie, a master of traditional Chinese painting. He taught me how to paint pictures in the style of classical Chinese art using ink and Chinese watercolor.

I had fallen in love with Chinese art before, and learning how to paint in this particular genre was a great opportunity.

I took the chance to learn traditional painting in different styles. I studied for several years with Chinese masters in Nanjing and Shanghai.

I like sharing my art and my love for art and hope to inspire people to find their inner artist or simply to enjoy art.

On this website I would like to show you some of my work.
