Lady Swan in Karlsruhe: When Dried Flowers Become Art
On October 8, 2026, vhs Karlsruhe will open the exhibition Lady Swan featuring works by the artist Zaneta Schwan. The vernissage combines painting, nature, and cultural education into a unique art experience in the courtyard of the adult education center.
Between Painting and Nature
Under the artist name Lady Swan, Zaneta Schwan develops a distinctive form of floral art. At the center of her works are real, dried flowers that are carefully selected, arranged, and embedded in acrylic. Each bloom retains its individual form while becoming part of a new composition.
The works unleash their effect in the tension between organic structure and painterly surface. Delicate petals meet vibrant color fields, fragile materials contrast with the permanence of acrylic. This creates an aesthetic experience in which the transience of nature takes on a new, almost timeless form.
A Distinct Artistic Handwriting
Zaneta Schwan was born in 1987 in Poland and grew up in Saarland. Her artistic development began with abstract painting and led to various series of works. In addition to her work as a painter, she also works as a book illustrator. Her art revolves around emotional connection, color effect, and the ability of images to transcend cultural and linguistic boundaries.
The floral works of Lady Swan can be seen as a contemporary connection between painting and material art. The embedded plant bodies give the images a relief-like, sensual quality. In the artwork, not only color and composition are prominent, but also the traces of selection, arrangement, and conserved nature.
Exhibition Atmosphere at vhs Karlsruhe
The vernissage provides an opportunity to experience the works up close and to perceive the special exhibition atmosphere between educational space and art space. Light, color, material, and botanical forms combine to create a quiet yet intense spatial effect.
The exhibition exemplifies the cultural education work of vhs Karlsruhe. It invites discussion about the value of natural materials, about transience, and about the connection of art and nature.
Vernissage on October 8, 2026
The opening will take place on Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 6 to 9 PM in the courtyard of vhs Karlsruhe. Admission is free; registration is not required. Art enthusiasts will experience the works of Zaneta Schwan for the first time in the context of the exhibition Lady Swan and gain direct access to her floral painting.
Conclusion: Floral Art with Sensual Presence
Lady Swan promises an art experience that connects nature observation, painting, and material aesthetics. Those who want to experience the fine structures of real flowers, the effect of acrylic, and the poetic tension between transience and preservation live should visit the vernissage at vhs Karlsruhe.
