Christine Seifert lives and works in Aachen, Germany and Mijas, Spain.
Christine has led a somewhat nomadic life… it happens! Soon after she was born in Bamberg Germany in 1954, the family moved lock, stock and barrel to a coffee farm on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania in 1957. For several reasons, some political and others personal, Christine moved house several times between Eastern Africa and Europe. Each move left its mark, and the experiences had a dramatic impact on Christine’s creative life and artistic expression.
Christine is autodidact and her semesters at the “Schule für Kunst und Gestaltung” in Zürich 1987 encouraged her to step out into the world as an independent artist, sketches from Africa turn into vibrant colours in Switzerland.
With great success, she has exhibited in several countries, and since 2003 her works have been represented by the following galleries. Subsequently her work found many collectors worldwide.
