„The palette of my paintings speaks for itself. I love pink and purple, I love lightness, I love oscillating color accents, I love arabesques, I love funny figures, I love presidents that don’t lie or scream, I love the power of kids' colors, I love to paint straight, I love to paint in layers, I love accidents and I love to overpaint.“ (Bettina Sellmann)

Bettina Sellmann studied from 1992 to 1997 at Städelschule Frankfurt, Germany with Jörg Immendorff, Christa Näher und Thomas Bayrle (Meisterschülerin). She also holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Hunter College in New York City, where she lived and worked for 11 years. Since 2010 she lives and works in Berlin. She was awarded the Skowhegan Residency and the DAAD Jahresstipendium (German Academic Exchange Service Year Stipend), among others.
