Petra Schott’s large abstract paintings channel the immersive experience of nature into bold gestures and expressive color fields. Inspired by her weekly walks, where the rhythmic movement of hiking quiets the mind and attunes her to the landscape, her work embodies a similar meditative state—one where time dissolves, and painting becomes an act of full presence. Through layers of rich, intuitive brushwork, Schott captures the ebb and flow of thought, emotion, and environment, weaving together elements of memory and myth with the immediacy of the moment.

In Schott’s Words:
The paintings above are a celebration of my deep connection to nature. Walking and hiking are essential to me—I make it a point to spend at least one day a week outdoors. The rhythmic movement of walking, the direct contact with the earth, gradually quiets my mind until I fully tune into my surroundings—the colors, the sounds, the shifting landscapes. It is a grounding and meditative experience, much like my painting process. There, too, a rhythmic flow takes over, leading to a state of complete presence—where time dissolves, words fade, and only the act of painting remains, fully embodied.
