Pulling at the threads

The first piece created after a period of rest, or creative block even, holds a special magic. This was true for me when creating this painting, as I was very free and without expectations, focusing on play and mark making. I love creating wonky lines with sticks dipped in ink, I love the tension between a strong value contrast and complimentary colours, in this case the orange and blue. All this adds to the emotional depth of the artwork.
ORIENTATION - can be chosen upon purchase. I purposefully sign the artwork on the back as the orientation is often a personal choice, although I usually have a favourite way of hanging and if not specified, will wire it that way.

This artwork is unframed but the side are neatly finished in white as to not detract from the art. Varnished for protection and ready to hang.

Born in Austria, Sibylle Zinnocker has been immersed in creativity since childhood.
Her artistic journey began with a deep love for colours and a passion for hands on creativity, which lead her to study at HBLA für Künstlerlische Gestaltung in Linz. There, she spent five years honing her skills in textile design, printing, visual arts, woodwork, metalwork, and art history. She graduated in 2001 with a solid foundation in artistic expression.

After relocating to Australia and working in a career outside the arts, Sibylle eventually rediscovered her passion for painting in 2020 through an abstract painting workshop. Since then, she has dedicated herself to exploring the limitless possibilities of abstraction, using art as a means of self-expression, mindfulness, and creative freedom.

Sibylle draws inspiration from nature, particularly the emotional and psychological impact of colour. Her process is intuitive—beginning with a chosen palette, she applies paint spontaneously, allowing the composition to evolve organically. Often working quickly, she embraces an element of unpredictability, finding beauty in spontaneity and the unknown. This approach transforms each piece into a journey of discovery, where the final artwork remains a delightful surprise, even to her.

Now working towards her dream of a full-time art career, Sibylle remains committed to maintaining art as her sanctuary—where creativity flourishes without constraint.
