From Painting to space
My background in interior design continues to influence how I approach my art. I rarely see a painting as an isolated object. I consider its scale, colour, rhythm, light and relationship to the surrounding architecture from the very beginning.
This thinking is reflected in my series such as Next Level, Timeless, Infinity and Wallpaper. Each work can stand independently, while also becoming part of a larger visual and spatial concept.
I am particularly interested in how several works can interact: creating rhythm across a wall, connecting different areas through colour, or changing the perceived proportions and atmosphere of a room. My modular and Infinity works extend this approach directly into space.
This makes my work adaptable to private collections, residential interiors, hospitality, corporate and public environments. For me, the artwork should not simply occupy a space — it should become part of its identity and transform how the space is perceived.
DA – HERE – THE ART OF PRESENCE
I am very proud to introduce HERE – THE ART OF PRESENCE, my first artist book, curated and published by Galerie Konsum163.
With 102 pages, the book offers a deeper insight into my artistic practice and the ideas that have shaped it. It is not a catalogue, but an artist book that brings together works, reflections and dialogue to create a broader perspective on my practice.
Alongside a curatorial text examining the underlying ideas and structures within my work, the book includes an interview with the gallerist of Galerie Konsum163 and me. Together, these different perspectives explore the questions that run through my work: transformation, perception, presence, repetition, and the relationship between surface and space.
The book also follows the development and connections between my different series, offering a closer look at the thinking behind the works and the visual language that connects them.
For me, HERE – THE ART OF PRESENCE is a very personal milestone. I am proud to have my artistic practice brought together in this form — not simply as a record of what has been created, but as a deeper examination of what lies behind it.
The artist book can be ordered directly through Galerie Konsum163 or here.
Debut of Brigitte Puschmann's Infinity Cloud Sculptures at Gallery Konsum163
My Cloud Sculptures are the logical continuation of my Infinity series. By adding further individual “bubbles”, the overall complexity of the composition increases. Depending on how the elements are suspended — and from which angle the sculpture is viewed — different visual effects emerge, with colours and forms appearing to transform into new colours and forms.
The overall shape also changes according to how the individual clouds are arranged. As daylight shifts throughout the day, reflected light changes with it, continuously altering the sculpture’s appearance and the viewer’s perception.
I photograph through my sculptures and suspended paintings, creating independent photographic works. This transformational process gives rise, among other works, to the Pillow Drops as new artefacts. These photographs are subsequently printed in black and white onto canvas and become the starting point for new paintings.
In this way, a continuous process emerges in which each work becomes the point of departure for the next. Once again, I find this process a beautiful way of capturing something fundamental about the nature of life itself: constant transformation.
The installation was on view at Galerie Konsum163, Schellingstr. 52, Munich Kunstareal, until July 23, 2026.
"Investing as an artist time to reflect on impressions in my studio is important to me in order to feel the essence of the now and the potential for transformation."
Here my current portfolio. In addition also a selection of my mid /smaller works portfolio.

Brigitte Puschmann Selected as Finalist for the Malamegi Lab Art Prize Milan 2026
I am honored to have been selected as a finalist for the Malamegi Lab Art Prize 2026 in Milan. This recognition of my artistic work marks an important milestone in my ongoing practice as a contemporary artist.
The nomination affirms my continued exploration of transformation, perception, and modular visual systems, and encourages me to further develop these concepts within my work.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who support and accompany my artistic journey — my collectors, galleries, and everyone who engages with and believes in my work.
This recognition strengthens my commitment to expanding my practice and opening new perspectives within contemporary art. See also the exhibition catalogue..
"When I work on my Infinity series, the most enjoyable part begins when the acrylic tiles are ready and I can experiment with different combinations of sizes, patterns and colors. Every time I come across a new combination, I ask myself, "What is the best combination of my Infinity acrylic tiles?"
I realize there may be no definitive answer to this question, aside from the possibility that I may not have taken a perfect photo of a combination. This thought leads me to another question: What does the artwork itself represent?
Is it the wooden board that holds the colored acrylic tiles, or is it the photograph of the arrangement taken at that moment that also represents its transformation into a new visual form? I suspect that it will take some time to definitively answer this question for me, as it is not an easy one to answer.
But back to the initial question: "How do I determine the best combination?" It is important for me to have a clear understanding of the ultimate goal for a particular combination in mind. This allows for the highest potential for successful combinations. For example, I have to clarify whether I intend to leave it as a stand-alone contemporary work or include additional works and tiles to create a larger wall installation. To do this, I create my picture gallery of curated art in my studio."
