Detailed description

Picture "GOOD GIRLS GO TO HEAVEN" (2023)

There is always a story behind my work. In fact, there are actually three stories: My own, that of the person portrayed and that of the viewer. With the title of the work, I give an idea of the direction in which my thoughts and the story of the artwork are going. This is also the reason why there are no "untitled" paintings in my art. The title is often already determined before the first paint is applied to the canvas. In this way, I give the viewer the necessary space to interpret my work with the help of a small hint in the form of the title in such a way that it immediately appeals to them. Because the viewer's imagination always springs from their own experiences and therefore their own story. So each work begins with my story, but in the end, the story behind the painting is the viewer's: yours. And that's what makes it so special.

About Karin Döring

I am Karin Döring, artist for contemporary art. "The more curious we are, the more creative we become" - this guiding principle reflects my conviction that curiosity is the key to artistic development.
I am particularly fascinated by the invisibility of female strengths. While assertiveness and loudness are often seen as signs of power, it is often the soft, empathetic, compassionate abilities, the so-called "soft skills", that hold a society together. However, these qualities are all too often taken for granted or even devalued. I am dedicated to these quiet but profound forms of strength. A woman doesn't have to be loud to be strong. She doesn't have to be aggressive to assert herself. Sometimes the greatest strength lies in the ability to feel, to connect, to heal and to stay true to oneself. My works are an invitation to reflect on these perceptions. They show women not only as individuals, but also as part of a collective narrative that spans generations. Each of my portraits carries a story. A story of struggles, dreams, successes and obstacles.
