Jacqueline Schäfer works and lives in Amsterdam. In 1989 she graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Until that moment painting was something she did for herself and only shared with a few others. It was a way of expression. When she discovered that it was also a way of communication, painting became an extra dimension for Jacqueline.
During her education at the academy she searched for a visual language which suited her. She found her own style and developed it through the years. Because of the clear shapes, bright colours and strong black contours her artwork is iconic.
She chose for figurative, yet not realistic, images. She creates a world in which the shapes of her figures are very recognizable.
The themes in her paintings vary from happy, strange fantasy birds, static and modest images to female nudes. Especially the female nudes depict her own feelings and can therefore almost be seen as self-portraits.
