Contemporary Black Forest Art at the California Dreamin’ Café

Starting August 1, 2026, artist Christina Walter will present a selection of her works at the California Dreamin’ Café in Sasbachwalden. On display will be contemporary paintings in oil and acrylic that place traditional Black Forest motifs in a modern context. Her work centers on expressive portraits of women, local animals, and characteristic elements of Black Forest culture, which she reinterprets through a contemporary visual language. The stork, in particular, has become a recurring motif in her art. Her works combine regional symbolism with a modern aesthetic, offering a fresh perspective on familiar motifs. “For me, the Black Forest is far more than just a landscape. Its nature, its animals, and its cultural identity continually inspire me to create new works. I want to express this connection through a modern visual language—contemporary, emotional, and with my own artistic signature.” Each piece is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted work in oil and acrylic. The exhibition is on view during the café’s regular opening hours.
