Detailed description
Picture "Trauma" (2022)
The portrait of a young woman with bandaged head conveys an immediate effect of disorientation. Her facial expression shows a mixture of pain, confusion and vulnerability. The lack of visibility of her eyes reinforces the impression of being hidden, as if she is trapped in an inner darkness.
About Beate Hanek
In a world where we are often overwhelmed by reality, art offers me a refreshing escape.
The moment I dip the brush into the paint, something primal awakens in me. With each brushstroke, I open a door, find a breakthrough, and dive into a hidden wonderland. This experience is as breathtaking as entering a mysterious and unexplored landscape. This infinite abundance of creative possibilities is what I want to share in each of my artworks.
I find inspiration everywhere - in the stories and biographies of the people I meet, in relics and ruins of ancient cultures, enigmatic characters, ancient glyphs, and the floor plans of ancient temple architecture. Every meeting, every discovery awakens vivid images in me and leads to colorful paintings.
But it's more than just capturing these inspirations. It's about memory. Painting for me is about remembering the original emotions and experiences that these sources of inspiration awaken in me. It is a process of reliving and rediscovering.
