Petra Schott is a German contemporary artist whose recent works oscillate between subtle figuration and lyrical abstraction. When she was 15 years old, she wanted to become a yogini in the Himalayas. However, life had different plans. After studying law in Göttingen, she turned to fine art, studying in Kassel. For almost three decades, Schott has exhibited her work both domestically and internationally. She has been living in Frankfurt since mid-2015.
