Detailed description
Picture "Love India" (2020)
A lower caste Indian mother holds her little girl in her arms, and behind her is a poster of the young Hindu god Krishna on his mother's arm. I found the similarity of the two to each other so amazing, as well as the parallel to the European depictions of the Virgin Mary.
About Beate Blankenhorn
For over 30 years I have been an artist with body and soul.
I studied painting at the Stuttgart Art Academy and philosophy and literature at the University of Stuttgart. In addition, I gained a lot of experience through my teaching activities at art schools, youth art schools and a private academy for art and design. Meanwhile, my life is divided into the passion for painting on the one hand and the passion for yoga and meditation on the other. Or better I should say, these passions unite to a whole, which carries me full-time and inspires each other. To my paintings I demand profundity, professional image design and technical skill, which are transformed into lightness through the playful use of ornamentation and color.
