About Nelli Herbst
Style and technique
I create my artworks with a palette knife and oil paints. Applying the paint with a spatula gives the pictures a distinct structure and three-dimensionality. With every stroke of the palette knife, I capture moments full of joy, lightness and beauty - moments that are often lost in the hectic pace of everyday life.
My works should look like a sunny day - filled with warmth and energy that touch the heart.
The beginning
Art ran like a thread through my life and accompanied me through ups and downs. Even at a young age, I often heard that art was not a career, but merely a hobby. That's why my path initially led me into the advertising industry as a graphic designer. But thanks to lucky coincidences and wonderful people, I finally found my way to art. I am infinitely grateful for that!
