Interview in Voyage Phoenix Magazine

Today we’d like to introduce you to Bettina Madini.

Hi Bettina, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.

I was born in Berlin, during times of the Cold War, walls, and political instability. My family, being extremely protective, stirred me into the financial sector, although I had shown great interest and talent in acting and in art and had success as a teenage actress. The world of art, from their point of view, was only for a few selected, and that would mean impossible hardship and danger for their child. So, I learned early that I had to find my own way.

After finishing college, I was on a promising career path in the Corporate Financial World. My inner being, though, was yearning for creative expression, and that inner voice grew stronger with each day.

One Friday in 1992 in Luxembourg, late in the afternoon, my trajectory took a new turn when I joined the Conservatory of Music and, shortly after, the Ecole d’Art Contemporain, the School of Contemporary Art. I studied Fine Art in Luxembourg at the Ecole d’Art Contemporain with Jean-Marc Tosello, in the evenings and on weekends. Via singing and painting, I found my voice and creative expression, and doors for future possibilities were beginning to open. Looking back, I can see that it was an artistic breakthrough. I started my journey of becoming me and weaving my own, unique magical carpet.

In 2003, I leaped again and left the Corporate World in Luxembourg to go to New York City. I studied art at the National Academy of Fine Art and Design with Susan Shatter, Sharon Sprung, Henry Finkelstein, and Wolf Kahn. My deep search for expressive color and light has led me on a journey across different painting media that are universes to me. Oil painting, watercolor, pastel, acrylic painting, and silk painting, of them, are different languages that allow me to express light and joy. The journey never ends!

I currently study with Ronnie Landfield at the Art Students League in New York City.
