Detailed description

The title "Lovemachine" refers to the theme of the image, which represents an exaggeration of online dating. The image conveys a certain ambivalence between the desire for love and the feeling of alienation and artificiality associated with this type of dating. It shows the contradictions associated with the search for love and human closeness in the modern world. The background of the image is deep blue, which has a calming effect and brings the face to the foreground. Various graphic elements such as triangles, circles and hearts are arranged around the face and convey eien certain playfulness. Painted on extra deep 4 cm canvas with acrylic and oil pastel

About Ilona Schmidt

I live and work in Hamburg. Since 2007 free artistic studies in painting and sculpture.
Since 2011 numerous exhibitions at home and abroad Since 2013 member of the Bundesverband bildender Künstler/ Landesverband Schleswig Holstein. Works in private collections in Argentina, Canada, Europe and United States. Represented in the art collection Tempowerk Hamburg My constant interest in the different individual human characteristics and peculiarities and my enthusiasm for art, led to the decision to begin an independent study and follow a path of continuous self-optimization and refinement of their own techniques. Thus, my development can be described as a kind of journey through the world of art, during which I am constantly getting to know new people, techniques, places and impressions. Life itself, the fascination that lies in the detail of social interaction, leave a deep emotional imprint on me, which I translate in my artwork. My goal is to express my thoughts and ideas on various topics such as the environment, fragility or questions of belonging, through the use of different methods to give the viewer of my art a different understanding. Through the unconventionality of the works and the unadulterated reproduction of my thoughts, I try to bring even problematic issues, such as questions of social injustice, the transience of existence, but also strong emotions such as anger and grief to a more direct, emotional level. In doing so, I engage in a form of self-study in which I grapple with current issues and ideas and use the emotions released in the process to give the issues more personal meaning and new relevance. The entire process of creating one of my works is as diverse as my works themselves. This is because I give equal space to every impression or emotion. This also means that each inspiration requires a different approach. In my work, I am largely guided by my intuition and do without classical methods such as scripts or sketches. My creative process is thus the fusion of the manifestation of what I have experienced in my thoughts and my own intuition.
