Sascha Dettbarn is an interdisciplinary artist based in Germany, working across the fields of painting and sound art. His creative process is driven by an intuitive, automatic approach that allows his works to emerge organically from a state of meditative focus. Dettbarn’s paintings, which are abstract in nature, act as visual manifestations of internal psychological and emotional states. They are marked by gestural brushwork, vibrant color fields, and a keen attention to the materiality of the paint itself.
His approach is influenced by movements such as surrealism, abstract expressionism, and the European Informel, which emphasize spontaneity, emotional intensity, and the liberation of the subconscious in artistic expression. Through this lens, Dettbarn's work examines the tension between conscious control and unconscious impulse, inviting the viewer into a dialogue with the unseen forces that shape our inner worlds.
Under the alias Sopora, Dettbarn extends his exploration into the auditory realm, where he investigates the sonic dimensions of space, time, and perception. His work, whether visual or auditory, creates an immersive experience that encourages a deeper engagement with the interplay of subjective experience and external reality.
