While I have a great love of work with lush, chaotic patterns and texture, there is always something so lovely and intriguing in work that embraces visual economy.  Barcelona based, German born artist Sabine Finkenauer breaks down the world into simple lines and shapes, creating a signature visual language that is a little whimsical, a little retro and altogether lovely.

There is a childlike playfulness to her work, but her use of space and palette bring a sense of sophistication.  Light-hearted enough to seem like Sunday afternoon doodles, looking closer and at her body of work as a whole, you can see the thought and calculation as she works her way through her use of space, line and color in drawing, painting, collage and sculpture.

Want to see more of Sabine Finkenauer‘s work?  Please visit her website.  Wouldn’t it be lovely to see the world in such a simple way?  I’m making that a goal this week– ignore the distractions and see what is simply before me.
