Street painting Vitae

Street Painter

Brief Curriculum Vitae

I, Mrs. Christiane Jessen - Richardsen, was born on 4th March 1963 in Niebüll / Nordfriesland (Germany).
My professional career as a street painter started in 1984 when I moved to Berlin (Germany) and was
manifested with a visit to Mexico in 1986.

This period especially, left its indelible mark on my professional inspiration and engraved specific colours
and forms that are expressed in my current work.

Back in Germany, I used to work with several well-established painters to improve and expand my professional
capabilities. With my newly won professionalism, I held my first exhibition in Berlin (Germany) in 1994
while I was still working as an advertising copywriter, as well as, a leading adviser of a famous catering
service in Berlin.

Following from my street painting commission I was able to make one of my dreams come true. In 2004, I started
to work fulltime as a professional street painter. This new creative period allowed myself room to attend several
competitions, e.g. in Grazie Curtadone at the Madonnary Festival , an annual art event in Italy. I also participated
at several events at the "Open Air Gallery on the Oberbaumbrücke" in Berlin, which is a famous art event taking place
on a bridge symbolising the separation of East and West Germany as a former main check point in the capital.

Other important pillars of my work include workshops for students, painting murals on walls for shops, preparing
paintings on canvas for clients, and painting on streets while people watch me at work.

My main goal is to brighten up peoples’ lives with art that mirrors their wishes and dreams.
