Colour, Intuition and Imagination

Argentinian-born artist Josefina Preumayr creates vibrant, abstracted landscapes shaped by emotion, memory and a deep connection to the natural world. Working from her home studio in Berlin, she paints in layers of loose, expressive brushwork – transforming plantlike forms into abstract, rhythmic fields of colour and gesture. “Each brushstroke guides the next,” she explains. “I approach the blank page without a plan, letting intuition lead the way.”

Colour is both a subject and a tool in her practice. Guided by feeling rather than theory, she allows each composition to unfold on its own terms – fluid and instinctive. Nature, she says, is “a celebration of form, colour and spirit.”

A Botanical Language

Josefina’s work often centres on botanical forms – plants, trees and elemental shapes rendered with intuitive movement and shifting palettes. Her aim is not to depict nature precisely, but to express its emotional and symbolic resonance. “Everything in nature is alive, constantly morphing and existing in relation,” she says. “I love sneaking into these exchanges.” Through this approach, she creates compositions that blur the line between inner and outer worlds – where foliage and feeling are closely entwined. “Nature is my greatest source of inspiration,” she adds. “I often imagine it as a costume party for elemental forces.”
