ART OF PRESENCE
Eva Breitfuß ･ Artistic Practice
My artistic practice begins where language ends.
My path into art did not follow a traditional academic route. It emerged through the body, perception, and a lifelong exploration of consciousness. My background in movement and the study of human perception profoundly shaped the way I see and create.
I am interested in the moment when something moves from the invisible into appearance. Working with color, lines, dots, layers, and empty spaces, I explore the relationship between form and formlessness, stillness and movement.
For me, color can become light, density, or silence. Emptiness is not absence, but an open space of possibility.
I begin without knowing the final image. Rather than controlling every step, I allow the work to unfold and develop a presence of its own.
My art does not seek to explain or represent. It invites an experience beyond words — a space in which perception opens and presence can be felt.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is an expression of a lifelong exploration of consciousness, presence, and the essence of who we are.
I believe that each of us has the capacity to awaken to our own soul. Art can open something within us — beyond thought, interpretation, and the familiar boundaries of perception. It can become an invitation to encounter ourselves more deeply.
Consciousness is at the heart of everything I create. Whether through painting, drawing, or other media, I begin from a place of inner stillness, allowing form, color, and movement to emerge.
I am drawn to simplicity — to the quiet intensity of a line, the presence of a single point, and the infinite possibilities held within empty space. For me, color is more than a visual element; it carries light, energy, and an emotional resonance that reaches beyond words.
Each artwork is a portal — an opening into the unseen, a silent conversation between the work and the viewer.
My intention is not to explain reality, but to create space for a more immediate experience of being. A space where something essential may be recognized, felt, or remembered.
BIOGRAPHY
Eva Breitfuß (also published internationally as Eva Breitfuss) is an internationally exhibited contemporary abstract artist based in Germany. Her distinctive artistic approach, Art of Presence, explores the subtle relationship between consciousness, perception, light, and stillness, creating works that invite an experience beyond the visible.
Her artistic journey is rooted in a lifelong exploration of movement, human perception, and consciousness. Originally trained as a physical therapist, Feldenkrais Practitioner®, and Brennan Healing Science Practitioner®, Breitfuß developed an interdisciplinary understanding of the relationship between body, awareness, and creative expression. Her years living and working in New York from 1999 to 2005 further enriched her artistic development.
Working across painting, drawing, photography, and mixed media, she has developed a distinctive visual language of reduced forms, subtle geometries, lines, dots, and luminous color. Her works embody a quiet intensity in which simplicity becomes a means of expressing complexity, and the space between forms carries its own significance.
Rather than representing the external world, Breitfuß approaches art as an exploration of presence. Her works invite viewers to move beyond interpretation and enter into a more immediate relationship with their own perception.
Her artwork has been presented internationally in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia, including exhibitions and art events in Paris, Barcelona, London, New York, Florence, Venice, Milan, Dubai, and Beijing. Her work has also been presented in connection with internationally recognized venues such as the Louvre in Paris and the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) in Barcelona.
Breitfuß has received numerous international art awards and distinctions. Her work has been featured in contemporary art publications, exhibition catalogues, and international magazines, including Atlante dell’Arte Contemporanea, CAM – Catalogo dell’Arte Moderna, British Vogue, The World of Interiors, and House & Garden.
Her artwork is held in international private and corporate collections, including the Copelouzos Family Art Museum in Athens, Greece, and the Marianne and Hans Friedrich Defet Collection and Foundation.
Breitfuß lives and works in the Nuremberg metropolitan region, Germany.

EVA BREITFUSS: 'UNITY' - 2012
“It is only through painting that one is able to grasp the complexity of reality - because it can represent the feelings and the perspectives in their simultaneity.”
The exhibition in the Kellerhaus Pommersfelden offers us the opportunity for an exciting insight into the current work of Eva Breitfuß. She has her studio in the studio and gallery house Defet in Nuremberg, and since 2006. Shortly before, the artist, who was born in Erlangen, returned to Germany after a seven-year stay from America. In the USA she completed her studies to become a Brennan Healing Science Practitioner®. She has always been interested in the different dimensions of perception, intuition and consciousness and has explored them in a creative way. She herself sums it up with the following words: "My work is based on new consciousness. It is an exploration of different levels of consciousness, which is brought forth and brought to life by the vital power of art, namely to capture imaginaries of possible being."
Already the exhibition title, UNITY = Unity / Wholeness, which also refers to a brand new series of works, refers to the deliberately multidimensional, multi-layered, in a certain way also open to interpretation, associative possibilities that are characteristic of the artist's oeuvre as a whole: Thus, unity / The One (Latin unum) philosophically stands for a "supreme principle" (see Wikipedia). "Out of everything one and out of one everything". According to Heraclitus, the unifying ground that makes possible the universal unity and wholeness of the cosmos is the Logos, that is, a lawfulness that permeates the world. One could perhaps also speak of divine energy or also of microcosm and macrocosm. However - especially for Heraclitus this principle meant that the One is constituted by the interaction of many and opposites. In terms of the natural sciences, it is cells that are among the smallest living units within living organisms. These small, round plastic bodies carry and store information, serve for the exchange of substances, for the emergence and maintenance of life and vitality.
And what is the situation in art? Is there something comparably elementary in this respect, something that connects everything? Formally seen this is interestingly the POINT and the, again from many points developing line, as the next larger unit, which opens the possibility finally to spread out to surfaces.
At the latest now it can be stated: Eva Breitfuß thematizes in her light objects, thread works and dot paintings not only elementary phenomena such as color, energy, light, but is beyond that with her visual language of a universal world language and thus a complex reality on the trail - and with maximum intensity with minimal use of means always on the threshold of the immaterial and imaginary. (The fact that there is nothing superfluous is, after all, an important criterion that also stands for quality in art!)
Eva Breitfuß's central concern is to comprehend, explore, transform and transport realities and energies of time, space and nature by means of art. All presented artworks are unique, and even if they are arranged in series of works, each of them always forms a separate entity. For the exhibition in the Kellerhaus, the respective works were specially adapted to the respective room situations, this works so well that one could think the pictures were made especially for it.
The result is: works reduced to the essential, which are simple and yet of quiet dynamism, subtle poetry, intense presence, sometimes grandiose luminosity and magnetic attraction.

EVA BREITFUSS: 'UNITY'- 2012
“Nur durch die Malerei ist man in der Lage die Vielschichtigkeit der Wirklichkeit zu erfassen - weil sie die Gefühle und die Perspektiven in ihrer Gleichzeitigkeit darstellen kann.”
Die Ausstellung im Kellerhaus Pommersfelden bietet uns die Gelegenheit zu einem spannenden Einblick in das aktuelle Schaffen von Eva Breitfuß. Sie hat ihr Atelier im Atelier- und Galeriehaus Defet in Nürnberg, und zwar seit 2006. Kurz zuvor kehrte die in Erlangen geborene Künstlerin, nach einem siebenjährigen Aufenthalt aus Amerika, wieder nach Deutschland zurück. In den USA absolvierte sie ihr Studium zum Brennan Healing Science Practitioner®. Denn schon immer hat sie sich für die verschiedenen Dimensionen von Wahrnehmung, Intuition und Bewusstsein interessiert und diese auf schöpferische Weise erforscht. Sie selbst bringt es mit folgenden Worten auf den Punkt: „Meine Arbeit basiert auf neuem Bewusstsein. Es ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen Bewusstseinsebenen, welche durch die vitale Kraft der Kunst, nämlich Imaginationen möglichen Seins zu erfassen, hervorgebracht und lebendig wird.“
Schon der Ausstellungstitel, UNITY = Einheit / Ganzheit, der sich auch auf eine brandneue Werkreihe bezieht, verweist auf die bewusst multidimensionalen, vielschichtigen, in bestimmter Weise auch interpretationsoffen Assoziationsmöglichkeiten, die charakteristisch für das Gesamtwerk der Künstlerin sind: So steht Einheit / Das Eine (lateinisch unum) philosophisch betrachtet für ein „höchstes Prinzip“ (siehe Wikipedia). „Aus allem eines und aus einem alles“. Laut Heraklit ist der einigende Grund, der die universale Einheit und Ganzheit des Kosmos ermöglicht, der Logos, also eine die Welt durchwirkende Gesetzmäßigkeit. Man könnte vielleicht auch von göttlicher Energie oder auch von Mikro- und Makrokosmos sprechen. Wie auch immer – insbesondere für Heraklit bedeutete dieses Prinzip, dass sich das Eine durchaus aus dem Zusammenwirken von Vielem und Gegensätzlichem konstituiert.
Im Hinblick auf die Naturwissenschaften sind es Zellen, die zu den kleinsten lebenden Einheiten innerhalb lebender Organismen zählen. Diese kleinen, runden plastischen Körperchen tragen und speichern Informationen, dienen zum Austausch von Stoffen, zur Entstehung und Erhaltung von Leben und Lebendigkeit.
Und wie verhält es sich nun in der Kunst? Gibt es im Hinblick darauf etwas vergleichbar Elementares, alles Verbindende? Formal gesehen ist dies interessanter Weise der PUNKT und die, wiederum aus vielen Punkten sich entwickelnde Linie, als nächstgrößere Einheit, die die Möglichkeit eröffnet sich schließlich zu Flächen auszubreiten.
Spätestens jetzt lässt sich feststellen: Eva Breitfuß thematisiert in Ihren Lichtobjekten, Fädenarbeiten und Dot-Paintings nicht nur elementare Phänomene wie Farbe, Energie, Licht, sondern ist darüber hinaus mit ihrer Bildsprache einer universellen Weltsprache und somit einer komplexen Wirklichkeit auf der Spur - und das mit maximaler Intensität bei minimalem Einsatz der Mittel immer an der Schwelle zum Immateriellen und Imaginären. (Dass es nicht Überflüssiges gibt, ist ja ein wichtiges Kriterium, das auch für die Qualität in der Kunst steht!)
Eva Breitfuß zentrales Anliegen ist es, Gegebenheiten und Energien von Zeit, Raum und Natur mittels Kunst zu begreifen, zu erforschen, zu transformieren und zu transportieren. Alle präsentierten Kunstwerke sind Unikate, und selbst dann, wenn sie zu Werk-Reihen angeordnet werden, bildet jedes für sich immer auch eine eigene Einheit. Für die Ausstellung im Kellerhaus wurden die jeweiligen Werke speziell auf die jeweilige Raumsituationen abgestimmt, dies funktioniert so hervorragend, dass man meinen könnte die Bilder wurden speziell dafür gemacht.
Das Ergebnis ist: Auf das wesentliche reduzierte Werke, die schlicht und dennoch von stiller Dynamik, subtiler Poesie, intensiver Präsenz, teilweise grandioser Leuchtkraft und magnetischer Anziehungskraft sind.
