Workshop Concept

In creating her own mystic style in fantastic realism Berta Bertram “BB” uses oil and acrylic colours, as well as watercolours, distemper, gouache, pencil, chalk and charcoal. To be active in an intuitively creative way are applied permanently more and more acrylic colours and pencil. She also paints portraits in different techniques and already had/has orders to paint important political and other famous personalities of Portugal (please see “Collections”).
In six of twentytwo under “Collections” listed works you can see that BB also likes to express in her pictures the story of a country, city, families and an institution. Refering to this at the moment she is working at an honourable order (painting) for the “Associaçao dos Portugueses no Estrangeiro” for the future museum “Museu da Emigraçao e das Comunidades” (Museum of Immigration and Communities), Lisbon, Portugal and the "Governo Civil" (Civilian Government ) which will be permanently exhibited there.

The motives and the energy of expression of her paintings show the artist´s interior world of thoughts and feelings who creates in astonishing harmony colours, forms and in best technical interpretation profounded occurrances.

Generally with her paintings she represents a world with all its advantages and disadvantages which reflects how fragile and worth protecting it really is. Human relations, symbolic and socialcritical statements in her pictures are merged in MOTHER NATURE.
But always the human being as important part of the Univers with the task as protector of the nature and his own race, and L O V E , one of the world´s greatest miracles that incites hope and brings people together. These are the special requests in the pictures of this artist.
 
Also to mention are "BB"s pencil drawings in which she interprets the world´s belongings in humourfully and ambiguously manner.

BB´s individual kind of expression of her paintings leads the obsever informal into deeper reflection and opens him the possibility to recognize his own world of thoughts in the painting.
