About

Uta Richter (*1970, East-Berlin)
Painter

Since the 90s, Geneva-based German artist Uta Richter has worked on topics that deal with the inner driving forces of human nature. Mythological references and expressive female figures are reference points in her paintings.


Uta Richter tries to understand and deconstruct the essential mechanisms of human existence: What helps victory, of what does weakness consist.
