About the Artist Sabine Curio

The landscape of her native island of Usedom runs through the work of Sabine Curio (b. 1950 in Ahlbeck). In oil paintings, watercolours and prints she devotes herself to landscapes, still lifes and nudes; occasionally she also creates book illustrations. Curio studied at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weissensee from 1969 to 1974, followed by painting studies with Otto Niemeyer-Holstein on Usedom in 1970/71; from 1977 to 1980 she was a master student of Wieland Förster at the Academy of Arts of the GDR. Since 1977 she has lived and worked as a freelance artist in Stolpe on Usedom. Her works are held in several museums and have been shown in numerous exhibitions since 1981.
