Isabeau Schmikowski creates paintings that balance realistic depiction with vivid color. Drawing on both detailed preparation and spontaneous decision-making, she produces works that emphasize the individuality and vitality of animals—particularly wild species and their ongoing fight for survival. Schmikowski selects her materials carefully, prioritizing longevity and quality in every piece. Committed to nature conservation, she donates 5% of her sales to NABU Düren or the Wildtierstation Nordrhein e. V., supporting the protection and rehabilitation of native wildlife. For Schmikowski, each painting is intended to tell a story and foster connection.
