Hendrik Krawen grew up in Lübeck.He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and lives in Berlin. In the years 2007/2008 he was a visiting professor at the Academy of fine arts in Hamburg (Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg)

In his landscapes he deals with the subject of the abstract spaces, places, objects and individuals. The selected objects, as well as the people seem detached or isolated in a methaphysical spaceof each other to float. People act like scissorslike scale shadow images of themselves. They are indicated in phantoms in some pictures while loosing themselves in a seemingly endless horizon. Ifthere decontectualized words composed by letters, they appear as neologisms and bring their meaningfulness expressed in that manner, that they are not decipherable. The landscapeslook likearchectural constructs and thus create an alienated almost acting cool atmosphere.

Hendrik Krawen paints pictures on differnt materials. Often images of a plurability of singel works are combined to form a new image.

With his art works Hendrik Krawen has to be included to one of the leading protagonists of new romantic paintings.
