Ursula Strozynski

Ursula Strozynski (born 11 January 1954 in Dingelstädt) is a German painter and graphic artist.

Life

Ursula Strozynski studied architecture at the Technische Universität Dresden from 1972 to 1976. From 1976 to 1977 she worked on the project planning of a large Berlin company. Since then she has lived in Berlin-Pankow as a freelance artist. In 1992, together with Marguerite Blume-Cárdenas, Elli Graetz, Annet Gröschner, Gisela Kurkhaus-Müller and Nuria Quevedo, among others, she founded the Künstlerinnen-Initiative Xanthippe e.V.

Through her studies and her work afterwards, she has a preference for graphics, etchings and paintings of industrial plants and buildings as well as other architecturally interesting themes. As a long-standing lecturer at the Marburg Summer Academy up to the present day (2012), she passes on her experience. Her works were part of the Marburger Kunstverein's group exhibition Bildersuchen.[1]
