 Praise for Daniela Forster
Collage artist and storyteller Daniela Forster’s playful use of colour, the combination of symbolism, dimension, semantics, light and texture are her trademarks. Her style is unique, her insights mystical, philosophical, magical. Hans-Juergen Mueller, Germany’s most successful Avant-Garde Gallerist, and the founder of “Zukunftwerkstatt-Mariposa” has called her work rare and extraordinary. Daniela receives inspiration as a medium and like an alchemical marriage imagination and sensitivity form a magical, mysterious world. Her innate process of discovery, exploration and learning are always at play. She is captivated by diverse influences, fairy tales, music, film, anime, history, Jung, German Romanticism, Chagall, Bosch, Matisse, Einstein and Michelangelo, to name a few. I am very fortunate to have met Daniela Forster who is such an amazing artist. She has done great work all over the world: I have seen work she did for the famous Karl Lagerfeld, and also Swarovski in Paris, just to name a few. In New York she created the most beautiful Ginger Bread House which decorated the Lobby of the building I live in on New York's Upper East Side. Her art work is most unique and Daniela is a very inspiring person."
Daniela is a gifted artist in many different media. Her art work is filled with vibrancy, originality and draws the eye and the mind deeply within. She brings the same kind of artistry to her writing. Daniela writes from her soul. She allows us to witness her struggles, passions, great love for the world and all its creatures and shows us with every word her compassionate and forgiving heart. "
Daniela Forster is one of the most creative energies I have met. A well-spring of ideas that manifest into words, paintings and philosophical ideals. Brilliantly adept at math that translates into spirituality and biochemical-behavioural patterns, she can take on the most formidable of minds in discussion. This lady is a fierce warrior against all odds that can confront a human being. She stands strong in her beliefs that encompass love of the planet and its inhabitants, be they animal, vegetable or mineral, appreciating all their worth. Her scientific knowledge is flowing and creative and she uses it to inspire others in her paintings. I see her as a very bright star in the constellation of artists and writers where she definitely belong!”
When I opened the shipment and played back the enclosed DVD, a total tingling covered my back which always happens when I see exciting art. Daniela Forster was the sender —the young lady whom I had encouraged when we met in Gstaad with Artur Schmidt, ten years earlier. A new time in human history is announced through new art, emerging through the undergrowth that an artist has to burst through, surviving the heavy thicket of speculations in the world of art today. Should Daniela be such an ambassador? An extraordinary artist, Daniela, weaves a picture-story world with a brilliant ability and sensitivity. I called her and invited her to Stuttgart.
