Detailed description

Picture "LICHTGESTALT XXXIII [33]" (2025)

Medium: acrylic, relief structure, gilding with 24-carat gold leaf. In the artwork LICHTGESTALT XXXIII I have captured the powerful dynamics of the triangular pose (Trikonasana). The golden lines seem to move almost weightlessly across the deep blue background - sometimes flowing, sometimes angular, sometimes dissolved, sometimes clearly defined. What fascinates me about this pose is how it embodies stability and expansiveness at the same time. The figure stands firm, while the body opens outwards. It is precisely this area of tension that interests me: the moment in which everything appears powerful and light at the same time. The 24-carat gold leaf emphasizes the movement, it reflects the light differently depending on the angle of view and makes the composition appear alive. This interplay of structure and openness, of contrasts and harmony, runs through all my work - but here, in this LICHTGESTALT, it comes into its own.

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.
