Detailed description
Picture "Cleaning II" (2020)
Inner and outer cleaning. A woman washes her clothes. She looks as if she has something to hide, as if she is surprised by the viewer. She has her travel bag and handbag with her and it doesn't look like she goes to the laundromat often. Something has happened. She is acting to free herself. This is the second version of the motif, as a close-up in portrait format.
About Ralf Schmidt
There is a dialog between my works: you have "saved" the works you have already created, and when you create a work, the idea for the next work automatically forms in the back of your mind.
In my works, I try to make the inside visible through the outside: just as in some paintings outer landscapes are inner landscapes, my externally detailed depictions of people/things represent inner realities. People "on their way" or taking a decisive step from one stage of life to another are a recurring motif in my work.
