Rock, Cordula
Biography:
Cordula Rock was born in Munich in 1964. She first studied Law and Ancient Greek at the Ludwig – Maximilians – University of Munich and received her doctorate in Law from the Faculty of Law at the University of Bayreuth in 1998. Since 2004 she began to work intensively with non-representational painting. In the course of her work, she also turned her interest to nude painting. After setting up her own studio in Holzkirchen (Bavaria/Germany), various art studies followed at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich as well as at the Art Academy Wildkogel (Munich). Since 2022, the artist has also worked in her new studio set up in Pietrasanta (Tuscany/Italy).
Cordula Rock’s abstract paintings are created in a mixed technique preferably on canvas as well as various wood painting grounds. She produces her colors, glazes and putties mainly herself. Although the artist is very much inspired by nature, her works are not a representation of the object world. Rather, in her works, the ‘miracle of nature’ can be experienced and felt in the form of cosmic Beauty. They are an aesthetic reference to the enigmatic, an attempt to formulate the indescribable and the inexpressible. Furthermore, the artist deals with philosophical issues and the interpersonal relationship as some of her titles reveal such as “Love”, “Joy” and “Passion”. Finally, Cordula Rock also devotes herself to studying the nude. Her overall artistic guiding principles may be summed up by this statement: “Devotedly and passionately go YOUR WAY, spontaneously allow NEW MOVES…, leave UNCHANGABLE TRACES”. All are manifested throughout her works.
Cordula Rock has presented her works at numerous international exhibitions and fairs. Since 2020 she is an artist – member at Circle Foundation for the ARTS, CFA (based in Lyon/France). Since 2023 she is represented by LDXArtodrome Gallery.
