Stefanie Schairer lives and works in in Berlin, Germany. She works mainly in painting, installation and interactive/immersive happenings/performances in public spaces. Her background is in art therapy (MA) and social work.

In her abstract, playful paintings she uses color as an initial starting point. Her observations and explorations of the relationships and interactions of the different materials and the relationships between people are the source for her creativity work. She uses mixed media and paint and experiments with different shapes, forms and textures in her work.

In her performances and happenings, she creates a space in which people become an active part of the art process. She creates a kind of playground where she leaves open what happens next or what the outcome might be. She likes to “blur” the boundaries between the artwork and the recipients so that something new and unpredictable can be created.
