Meet Christina Knobbe

For my photojournalism class that I'm taking while overseas, I had to find a subject-someone from Berlin- and ask them about their perspective of Berlin. While walking through the Hackkscher Markt I ran across this woman. 

Christina Knobbe is a Berlin artist whose paintings have been seen all over the world. Without taking any classes or learning about the latest sketch techniques, Knobbe has used her inner talent to hone her artistry and keep her work authentic. She loves the free spirited nature of the culture in Berlin which is why she chose to expand her craft in the area. As a mother of two, her earlier years did not grant her the opportunity to make a living with her talent alone, but now with both of her children being adults, she is able to see just how far her skills will take her. She is delighted with meeting new people every day and finds pleasure in being invited to numerous art exhibits. With over 12,000 works of art, Knobbe keeps herself busy with analyzing and interpreting some of her dearest moments into her sketches. Even though she adores making cute and dainty love sketches, what really drives her is the passion for human rights. She makes dozens of pieces related to the subject and has collaborated with other artist who share the same values. The human cultural experience is one that moves her to tears and she believes her influence lies within her artwork.
