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 shapes and flowing lines of her mostly abstract sculptures complement each other to create an exciting harmony. The artist likes to work with opposites: round versus pointed, small versus large, open versus closed. The objects tempt you to trace their curves and the play of light on their surfaces.
The artist's joy of life is reflected in her work: shiny surfaces, opulent shapes, steadfast and floating at the same time, playful and yet calm. Wiebke Bader knows how to express deep feelings with abstract sculptures. Her works are also characterized by great variability: they offer new views from all sides and can often be set up in different positions.
