Contemporary Ocean-Inspired Oil Paintings

Exploring the relationship between humanity and the ocean

Alexandra Telgmann is a German fine art painter whose work moves between marine wildlife and contemporary figurative painting.

Her paintings explore water as a space of transformation—where light, movement, and stillness converge.

About/Pratice:

Working with oil and 24-carat gold leaf, she captures the shifting luminosity beneath the surface, creating works that evoke both presence and quiet depth.

Her practice reflects on the fragile balance between humanity and the ocean.
