Award-winning fine art photographer Tina Trumpp was born in 1974 in Stuttgart, Germany. Her artistic journey led her to Italy, Spain, and France, where she lived and worked for many years. With her multiple recent international exhibitions, Tina Trumpp is under the spotlight of the contemporary photo art.
NUDE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
One of the few women in fine art / nude art photography, she has crafted a personal style where female nude is more than just a motif; Breathing with the gentle spirit of modern feminisim, her fine art prints are an ode to women and their sensitive beauty. Using natural lighting and soft lines, Trumpp offers a fresh perspective on nudity. Imbued with tranquil self-confidence, her muses possess a natural feeling of respectful elegance, highlighted by strength and breathtaking beauty. Often depicted in the muffled intimacy of their private spaces, they carelessly unveil their femininity while silently lost in deep thought. Are they reminscing the memories of a long-lost lover? Or waiting for one to return? Trumpp's seductive images trigger a narrative based on thoughtful emotions rather than primary instincts.
LANDSCAPES- AND NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY
Just as the great painters of all eras found their motifs in nature, she also devotes part of her photo art to this genre. Her ideal landscapes are presented in a majestic and magnificent way in the style of Caspar David Friedrich where the viewer is asked to reflect on these vast, enigmatic expanses and secret spaces of nature. The expanse of the sea for exampe invites to think, but at the same time opens up the possibility of letting thoughts flow freely. Her photo art explores the space between photography and painterly expression. Instead of simply capturing reality, Tina’scontemporary art photography becomes a surface for color, light, texture, and gesture. Through soft rendering, layered compositions, and an intuitive use of light, her photo art begins to resemble a painting rather than a traditional photograph.
PAINTINGS
In addition to photography, Tina Trumpp began painting in oil in 2022 and working with watercolor. These modern paintings open up spaces of radical freedom.
While in her photography often involves the careful planning of every detail, the paint in techniques such as the squeegee technique escapes this control. It moves, flows, and resists intention. From this interplay of chance and gesture, the unexpected emerges—something new that cannot be fully planned. It is precisely in this that a new creative quality arises.
During her residency in Marrakech in 2025, she painted Jardins de Marrakech, a captivating cycle of 35 watercolors that bring the local flora to life in radiant, glowing hues. Inspired by the vibrant atmosphere of Marrakech, this series explores the emotional power of color and movement. The city’s warm ochres, deep reds, and luminous blues become a starting point for a painterly process that embraces spontaneity and chance.
CYANOTPES
Tina also enjoys working with historical photographic processes, such as cyanotypes. Through this technique, she has created unique works featuring plants and butterflies from her own garden. The preservation of biodiversity in an insect-friendly garden is particularly close to her heart, and over time her garden has also become a refuge for many hedgehogs.
Just like painting or sculpture, a garden can be a form of art and provides her with organic shapes, textures, and structures that she arranges carefully on paper. For Trumpp, plants from gardens are more than decorative elements. They act as records of living nature. When exposed to light in the cyanotype process, the plants leave their impressions on the paper, preserving their forms in a way that feels both scientific and poetic. This transformation encourages viewers to look more closely at nature, revealing the hidden beauty of everyday plants found in gardens. Through these cyanotypes, the viewer glimpses the most intimate sphere surrounding Tina Trumpp — a realm she inhabits and profoundly loves.
