Renée Rauchalles, a painter and author, was born on September 7, 1955, in Munich, Germany. She studied graphic design, opera singing, and acting, and worked for several years at the Bavarian State Theater. Since the 1980s, she has been primarily dedicated to painting and also teaches. Her abstract paintings symbolize an ever-changing movement. Rauchalles combines painting and music in compositions of organic forms and vibrant colors. Her works aim to awaken awareness of the body and mind and convey an idea of an ideal, resonating cosmos. Balls and circles are frequent symbols in her art, representing the eternal cycle and the play of becoming and passing away.
