Life

Ursula Strozynski studied architecture at the Technische Universität Dresden from 1972 to 1976. From 1976 to 1977 she worked on the project planning of a large Berlin company. Since then she has lived in Berlin-Pankow as a freelance artist. In 1992, together with Marguerite Blume-Cárdenas, Elli Graetz, Annet Gröschner, Gisela Kurkhaus-Müller and Nuria Quevedo, among others, she founded the Künstlerinnen-Initiative Xanthippe e.V.

Through her studies and her work afterwards, she has a preference for graphics, etchings and paintings of industrial plants and buildings as well as other architecturally interesting themes. As a long-standing lecturer at the Marburg Summer Academy up to the present day (2012), she passes on her experience. Her works were part of the Marburger Kunstverein's group exhibition Bildersuchen.

Since 1981 she has had regular personal exhibitions and has also taken part in international exhibitions. Her works can be found in the Nationalgalerie Berlin, the Kunstarchiv Beeskow, the Kunstsammlung Berlin Marzahn-Hellersdorf, the Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin, the Ludwig Galerie Schloss Oberhausen and the Jüdisches Museum New York.
