Wiebke Bader is a freelance artist and sculptor. She lives and works in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg. Her preferred materials are bronze and wood.
In her search for the poetic and essential, Wiebke Bader finds inspiration in nature. The organic forms and flowing lines of her mostly abstract sculptures complement each other to create an exciting harmony. Her works are also characterized by great variability: not only do they offer new views from all sides, they can often also be set up in different positions.

Vision
Wiebke Bader creates sculptures that are also models for larger works. Larger than life, they could stand in public spaces or set a highlight in spacious gardens.
Examples are the works Bow II andDance sketched in front of buildings in Aalen.
This is how Bow II could stand as a large sculpture in front of the Audimax in Aalen.Sketch of the sculpture dancing as a large sculpture in front of the cultural station in Aalen.
