“My abstract landscapes are intended to capture a moment in which we want to linger because the sight, the light, the color or the silhouette of an environment captivates us and we want to absorb it.”

Vanessa Onuk is a self-taught artist from Frankfurt am Main, known for her abstract landscapes and seamless merging of forms. Her minimalist style focuses on geometric shapes, strong contrasts, and simplified elements. She works primarily with transparent acrylic layers on organic canvases like linen or cotton, creating a vintage, lived-in effect. Her art ranges from expressive landscapes to figurative representations of the female body, using soft lines and surprising contrasts to evoke emotion. Vanessa starts with a rough mental concept but embraces spontaneity, often letting the natural imperfections of the canvas guide the final outcome.
