Askild Winkelmann (*1994, Germany) works in layered, light-based painting whose appearance shifts with changing light conditions. Her practice is a window into her emotion, perception, and the hidden narratives. Colour is treated as an autonomous force: it responds, overlays, and slips away until structure and feeling coincide. The process is both physical and controlled. Paint is built up, poured, thrown, and adjusted, producing surfaces where intention and contingency remain visible, side by side. Under UV light, additional layers appear, expanding or breaking the visible composition. Many works begin from a figurative moment and are gradually reduced and reconfigured until emotional states hold as their own architecture.
Askild Winkelmann studied contemporary art in Barcelona and traditional techniques in Florence, and has worked full-time as an artist since 2018. International exhibitions and self-organised residencies in Mexico, Germany, and Taiwan shape her practice. Since spring 2025 she has painted at Silo artists’ association in the Canton of Zurich, where she serves as President.
