Jordana Rae Gassner

Jordana Rae Gassner is an internationally exhibited US-American artist living in Bavaria, Germany. She is primarily an oil painter with a focus on metaphysical realism; reflecting humanity's inherent cosmic nature and interconnectedness to all things on cellular and other levels. With a strong focus on structure and line, these abstract paintings become evocative and engaging. There is a powerful dynamism, even with a reduction into simple forms and the stories they convey are multi-faceted, resonating on multiple levels of the viewer. „My colours are potent, the combinations lively and real.“ The early years of her life were spent in the Black Hills of South Dakota, USA. It was there she learned to love the multifaceted manifestations of nature while running barefoot through prairie lands and climbing up big rocks. JRG obtained her Bachelors of Arts in 1999 and acquired a Diploma in painting at the Kolbermoor Art Academy. She has studied at the Universidad de las Americas in Mexico, the University of Bergen in Norway and Concordia College in Moorhead, MN, USA. Jordana has had the honor of being mentored by several established local and international artists. Her works are elegant and strong and evoke a sensual engagement with the viewer.
