Linda Bluth is a Hamburg-based artist, who mainly uses the mediums gouache and pencil.
In her paintings, she tries to process the struggle with the feeling of isolation and the longing for connection in this world and her experiences with mental illness. At the same time, she uses symbolism in order to explore her fascination for extreme contrasts in nature; its nurturing and cruel side, the connection of birth and decay, and our part in nature as human beings. This interest stems from her past work in the medical field and therefore from the confrontation with the vulnerability of the human body and the interdependence of its environment.
Her intense color palette is strongly influenced by her Mexican heritage and her fascination for folklore, tropical flora and fauna, and indigenous cultures.
