"Experience the beauty and complexity of life through my art"
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.
What an exhibition – and what an opening!
Many thanks to all the wonderful visitors and the fantastic team at twenty-six Gallery, as well as to gallerist Lucian Antoni, for my exhibition “New Horizons” in October 2025.
A special thank-you goes to Catrin M. Hassa for her fantastic introduction to this remarkable exhibition. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to meet her in person as well.
"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."
My Cloud Sculptures is the logical consequence of my infinity* series concept. By adding additional bubbles it changes its overall complexity. Based on how you hang the different bubbles but also from which angle you look at the sculpture you will discover different effects on how the color and forms transform into a new color and shape.
Based on how the different clouds are hanged the overall shape will change. In addition, the effect of light is fantastic. As soon as the day light change also the effect of the reflected light change and the overall impression you receive from the sculpture. It is again a wonderful realization to capture the nature of Life and its overall transformation.
"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."
