Nancy Marisa Arlt
The aspiring artist. Striking. Engrossing. Radical. NMA.
Her form of expression: A sophisticated emotional-universal language of pictures: Challenging. Intellectual. Profound.
The adventurer. Struggle, hunt, utter loss of control.
Her art is unpredictable. NMA provokes herself. Is allegedly negligent in her painting. Through infinite devotion NMA creates an extraordinarily profound soul landscape. Explores new territory.
Brave, audacious, free. The visionary.

NMA is a Berlin-based artist emerging onto the German art scene in 2004 following her graduation from the University of Arts in Berlin (UdK).
She was raised in a city, divided by a wall and having experienced both sides before and after the fall of the Berlin wall, her art is heavily influenced by the city‘s new-found sense of freedom, a spirit of unlimited possibilities and a feeling of former restrictions rupturing, leading to limitlessness.
The artist is primarily a painter using mixed media to create a battlefield of colors and techniques that are used to compliment each other and work together as a well rounded unit, but at the same time are meant to clash and exude struggle. In addition, she uses her formal training in photography to show parallels to her other works as a tool to convey an expansion of space and the changing of perspectives.
