I create raw, expressive paintings that honour freedom, intuition, and the quiet strength of the inner world. My work grows out of a deeply personal practice and is meant to offer a feeling of recognition, grounding, and homecoming to the viewer.

Bio

Ursula Hirländer is an artist who believes that creativity is not a talent reserved for a few but a sacred birthright shared by all.

Her work is rooted in the conviction that artistic expression holds the power to reveal personal truth, awaken feminine wisdom, and reconnect us to the quiet magic of community and belonging.

Her paintings are raw, expressive, and intimately layered, inviting viewers to pause, feel, and recognize fragments of their own story within each piece.

Ursula’s artistic path was recognized early. At just eighteen, she won first prize in a province-wide art competition in Graz, Austria her birthplace, which led to the honour of exhibiting her work in the Vatican State and being featured in the Vatican newspaper.

Today, Ursula creates from a place of curiosity and reverence, allowing intuition to guide her mark-making. Through her art, she gently invites others to return to their creative essence, to trust their inner knowing, and to experience the grounding, liberating beauty that lives inside honest expression.

 



 

Artist Statement

My art is a pursuit of freedom, a visual practice of self-realization, spiritual exploration and connection to something both ancient and deeply personal. Each piece becomes an offering shaped by emotion, energy, and the unseen threads that tether us to the sacred.

Rooted in the spirit of my heritage, my work is guided by intuition and a reverence for ritual. I layer textures, natural pigments, gold leaf, spray paint, and bold, instinctive marks to build visual landscapes that feel both wild and intentional. These materials allow me to move within the liminal space between the physical and the mystical, between what is visible and what is felt.

Creating is a sacred act for me. It is how I remember who I am, how I access the unseen, and how I move through shadow into light. My process is fluid and instinctive, a conversation between chaos and form, between what is known and what is still emerging.

Through each painting, I invite the viewer to pause, feel, and reconnect with their own inner wildness and with the ancient rhythms that continue to pulse beneath the surface of our modern lives.
