About Dorothée

Some thoughts and facts from Dorothée

Comments:

I really like the use of thick black lines with splashes of strong colour. Just like stained glass with the black lines. Vibrant and uplifting.
KD, Lane Cove

Chagall, Picasso are your muses.
L Kessler N.Y.

Just imagine it (Crooked Tree on Top of the Hill) on a wall of its own. It would explode!
Ken Done
Artist, Sydney

The free flowing brushstrokes and selection of colour in your artworks would put anyone in a good mood. They are certainly original and inspiring.

Congratulations, Dorothee! Wonderful artworks – can’t wait for your next exhibition here!
Lou Davidson Tamburlaine Pokolbin

Fresh and spontaneous, yet personal in their expression, Dorothée Heibel's pictures would equally grace the wall of a boardroom and a living room.

When you stand in front of this powerful
painting (Crooked Tree on Top of the Hill), you can
almost feel the earth rumble... you are reminded that the primeval element in landscape is ever
present... anything can happen... I hope it won't be today!
Congratulations
Dorothée
