BIOGRAPHY

 

 

It's not so important what you see, but how you see it ...

 

So my surreal and fantasy images have a distinct storybook style, drawing my inspiration, in part, from Magritte and Dalí.

 

My name is Brigitte Kuckenberg-Wagner, I was born and live in Solingen, Germany.

 

After completing my degree in free painting and graphics in Cologne, I worked a few years  as a graphic designer for the council planning department in my home town and later as freelance artist.

 

During these years I participated in several exhibitions, among others in the Salon Art Plus 8 ( Hilden ) with the GPFGP (Groupe des Peintres Gueury Paris )

 

From the early 90s , I began using Adobe Photoshop; digital art fascinated me from the outset. At that time, however, it was still a relatively new medium and the art scene, overwhelmingly, did not take it seriously. With new developments in technology, I final started to move from painting and graphic design into photo montage; I aimed to create new, fantastical worlds using parts of own photographs. Digital art opens up incredible, experimental possibilities and lets me create from my imagination.

 

I supplement the composings with digital painting, mattepainting and rendered parts.

 

Software used: Photoshop, Corel Painter and Blender 3d

 

After many, some very successful, entries in national and international competitions and also with positive feedback on the web, I knew I was definitely on the right path!
