Detailed description

Picture "JOËL" (2024)

The artwork 'Joël' is a portrait that captures the innocent curiosity and pure fascination of a child. His eyes reflect the boundless curiosity with which he looks at the world. The question "Hello world, what are you giving me today?" is central to the painting and conveys the daily expectation of new wonders that a child feels. This work invites the viewer to renew their own perception through the eyes of a child and to look at the world with openness and wonder. The portrait emphasizes that adults should also retain this childlike curiosity in order to fully appreciate the daily gifts of life. The painting technique and the use of color underline the message of the work through the vivid expression and the intensity of the gaze.

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.
