painting with the earth of the world

Working in deserts, volcanic regions and remote landscapes worldwide, Ulrike Arnold gathers natural pigments from the earth itself. Created in situ and shaped by the elements, each canvas carries the material and spirit of the place where it was made.

a global & interstellar artistic practice

Ulrikes work ranges from Earth Paintings created in remote landscapes to Meteorite Paintings made with extraterrestrial material. In the monumental One World Painting, earth pigments from all continents come together in a single global composition.

the world as studio

collecting elements across continents

From deserts and volcanic terrains to remote landscapes across the globe, Ulrike Arnold transforms the raw materials of each location — earth, sand, stones, and meteorite dust — into painting. In her site-specific works and Rock Art projects, the landscape itself becomes part of the artwork, carrying traces of wind, sun, and terrain. Each piece reflects a deep dialogue with nature, connecting material, place, and artistic vision in a unique and immersive way.
