Tanja Hoffmann is a contemporary abstract artist from Nuremberg whose work explores the subtle balance between inner stillness and the dynamic movement of color. In her long-term series Zenpolychromos, developed since 2020, she creates multilayered chromatic spaces shaped by transparency, flowing gestures, and delicate transitions. Her paintings reveal color as an active, living force that expands beyond the surface and opens atmospheric fields of emotional resonance.
Hoffmann’s artistic process is rooted in presence and attentiveness. Each layer emerges from an intuitive moment, allowing the painting to guide its own evolution. Using squeegees and translucent glazes, she moves pigment across the canvas in gestures that feel both intentional and surrendered. This approach creates works that appear calm yet vibrant, quiet yet full of inner energy. Through this interplay of movement and stillness, her paintings unfold as open spaces that invite reflection and sensitivity.
Hoffmann understands color as vibration and consciousness, shaping visual environments that offer clarity, depth, and a sense of contemplative expansion.
