Judith Liebe was born in Munich, Germany. She’s the daughter of film director Eckhart Schmidt and actress Isolde ter Jung. Liebe had her first solo exhibit in 1987.
From Judith: “A painting creates a holy space. I take interest in painting light. Painting should speak about the understanding of our vision and not attempt to tell a story that can better be told by other media. I believe that the illusionist quality of a painting becomes real by revealing its visionary qualities.”
