“Painting is my passion — a fire that consumes me. ”
Art creates connections — between people, cultures, past and future, mind and soul, heaven and earth. It is a bridge, a language, an expression. When viewed, it becomes meditation, creates new spheres, makes spirituality tangible. It touches, brings tears, releases emotions, organizes thoughts.
Dorothée's paintings shine in gold — a symbol of eternity and value. Each work is an image of their inner world: freedom, peace, love, grace, courage. Art means letting go, feeling yourself, venturing into new paths. It is a space without limits — free from evaluation, deeply rooted in creativity.
The images are created in silence and meditation. A glimpse of the vastness, the interior, the sky, a glimpse of nature, pictures, impressions, a word, a vision. Art is the embrace of the inner moment, of depth, feelings, hope and pain. It means trying something new. Dorothée's art is passion, honest, a processing of darkness, light and victory. Every stroke, every color follows an inner call. Mixed media and natural materials used such as wood, ash, sand and metal blend into organic compositions. Since the beginning of 2008, all art paintings have been decorated and weighted with gold leaf — it has become Dorothée's trademark. She also experiments with other techniques, such as flow and collage techniques. This is sometimes done wildly and expressively, sometimes gently and naively.
“Those who remain trapped in their own suffering pass on the pain. Anyone who is reconciled with God, himself, the past — spreads love and healing for the future. ”
Dorothée experienced profound suffering — abuse, bullying, a suicide attempt. But an experience with God changed everything. She found peace, flourished, became a voice for broken people. In 2008, she made her way into the red light district. There she began talking about her story. She used art as a bridge. A small painting in her hands became the key to closed hearts. Women in the brothel cried at their words, and a deep touch flowed in the sight of their art — the women recognized themselves in their paintings and tears gushed out. A vision brought clarity: art cards, printed and given away, would convey messages that words cannot reach. Today, her works are distributed all over the world — from Brazil to India to Thailand and from Germany to Africa. Art translates what cannot and cannot be said. It is the whisper of the mind, the resonance in the heart.
Her art is resistance against the suffering of exploited women, against human trafficking, against violence against women and prevents oppression and injustice from being forgotten. It shows that we are more than just a function — that we live, feel, suffer, believe, dream, love and create.
It is reminiscent of the greatest thing in us and in the world: God, the creator of all art. His breath gives us life, his spirit inspires our work — shows us the suffering of the wounded, ostracized, used, voiceless and unprotected. Makes miracles happen in and through us. Art is alive!
