Artist Profile - Pia Stern

Pia approaches each painting with intuition rather than a preconceived plan. Pia treats the creative process like an archaeological dig—layering, removing, and allowing the meaning to emerge organically through the act of mark-making.

Though her paintings are primarily abstract, they often feature symbolic imagery, reflecting the deeper narratives within. Influenced by her family’s history—her parents having escaped Nazi Germany—Pia's art is deeply attuned to both the beauty and the pathos of life.

Her art often explores existential themes, highlighting the tension between light and dark, both metaphorically and visually. Ultimately, Pia’s paintings serve as visual expressions of the psychological and philosophical challenges she encounters.
