Mara
Sandrock

Mara Sandrock born 1983 in Wuppertal, Germany is an artist with a scientific background.

First she studied medicine at the University Leipzig then fine arts at Burg Giebichenstein, Halle, Germany.
These two subjects underline her engagement with the human body, which she is exploring in its
variety, diversity and changeability.
Her first chosen subject was painting where she studied under Professorin Ute Pleuger and from which she still draws most of the
traditional materials for her works. Her work seem to move from the wall to the floor and into the room,
where you can see the influence of the further chosen sculpture department.
Under Professorin Andrea Zaumseil she graduated 2018 with highest honors.
Even today, medicine and visual arts are inseparable from her working methods
and are supportive to her artistic practice through the twofold intimate contact
with the human body.
