Detailed description

Sculpture "Head 1" (2019)

Head Modeled from stoneware mass, treated with engobes and patina after firing. The sculpture captures the essence of a face with minimal means. The raw, uneven surface of the stoneware mass gives it an archaic, almost fragmentary appearance - as if it were a remnant from a distant time or a found object that carries stories within it. The implied facial features, especially the prominent nose and closed mouth, seem to grow out of the material, while other areas of the face appear incomplete or eroded. This imperfection reinforces the impression of transience and mystery. The coloring with earthy and grey tones, interspersed with lighter accents, makes the sculpture appear alive - as if the material itself has worked with time. The head is a study in reduction: a face without identity, a form that leaves room for interpretation.

About Ilona Schmidt

Since 2007 I have devoted myself to free artistic studies, with a focus on painting and sculpture.
My works have been presented in numerous exhibitions at home and abroad and have been nominated and awarded several times. I have been a member of the Professional Association for Fine Artists since 2013. In my paintings and sculptures I try to capture the complexity of the human being. By using different techniques and materials, I create works that appeal to the emotions and thoughts of the viewer and stimulate reflection. My artistic work is characterized by a deep engagement with people and their environment. I explore the relationships between the individual and society, between body and mind, between past and present. My aim is to use my art to build a bridge between the viewer and the subject matter depicted. I want to arouse emotions, raise questions and provide food for thought. Because for me, art is not only an expression of my own thoughts and feelings, but also a medium for making contact with other people and inspiring them.
