Sherin P. Spielmann (known as Sherin L’Artiste) is a renowned Hamburg-based artist, illustrator, and live sketch artist. Her extraordinary works combine Far Eastern ink techniques with fashion, burlesque, mythology, and critical social themes surrounding identity, role-playing, and gender discourse.
Artistic Philosophy: Alice in Wonderland & Aesthetics
"My works are a contemplation of contemporary trends and a homage to beauty and diversity."
Like Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll), Sherin P. Spielmann perceives the world as a universe with its own laws. With curiosity and impartiality, she explores fashion as an expression of personality, fairy tales and archetypes, eroticism, and societal gender roles.
Unique Technique: Chinese Ink & Woodcut Drawing
Her delicate, graphic-like signature style is created through a highly specific material and painting technique:
- Sharpened Wood & Ink: Instead of traditional pens, she uses sharpened pieces of wood of varying density (e.g., balsa or spruce wood) for spontaneous, irreversible line work, inspired by Chinese ink drawing.
- Multi-layered Acrylic Glazes: Larger color areas are created in up to 10 translucent layers, giving the pictures an expressive depth and texture.
Sherin L’Artiste: Live Drawing, Event Art & Social Engagement
In 1994, after successful years as an illustrator and designer in fashion metropolises, the artist returned to Hamburg and founded her studio for fine and applied art. Under the name Sherin L’Artiste, she is a sought-after live sketch artist and portrait artist at exclusive events and burlesque shows. As a committed artist, she also supports the organization intact e.V. for the protection of girls.
