"Color is the language of the heart. By bringing it into a spatial order that emerges from within itself, it touches its viewers, takes them on a thrilling journey and finally releases them with clarified, experienced insight." Ingrid Floss

Through her exploration of contemporary visual language, focusing on color intensity and textured depth, Floss's work invites the viewer into a multidimensional emotional experience.

Inspired by nature and philosophy, Floss's work delves into themes of spirituality, the subconscious, and inner life. With meticulous layering of chromatic tones, the artist aims to bridge the visible and the invisible in a continuous process of transformation.

Since receiving her diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in 2003, Ingrid Floss has exhibited extensively in Germany and abroad, with shows at institutions such as Kunstverein Bamberg and Galerie Degenhartt in Berlin. Her career has also led her to several prestigious residencies, including, most recently in 2023, a residency at the Josef Albers Foundation.

 

Beyond her exhibitions, Floss is engaged in teaching at various private academies, where she explores the harmony between space, color, and inner meaning, encouraging her students to uncover the emotional potential of painting. In this context, she founded the "Color Lab" at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, a collaborative workshop dedicated to deepening the study of color dynamics in abstract art.

Floss has extended her teaching activity to China, where she has conducted courses on composition and chromatic harmony, using innovative approaches to explore the expressive potential of color. During these workshops, she has fostered a freer artistic expression, drawing on local traditions and generating strong interest from students. Recently, the city of Shenzhen in China hosted a group exhibition featuring well-known artists such as Jerry Zeniuk and Reimer Jochims, further establishing her role in the global contemporary art scene.

Currently, several of Floss's works are part of prestigious Bavarian collections, including the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlung, underscoring her impact on the German art scene.
