Detailed description

Picture "Elly (Beinhorn) - against all odds" (2022)

Elly Beinhorn - "one of the most daring women of the 20th century," according to the blurb of her autobiography "Alleinflug" - was born in Hanover in 1907. A lecture by ocean aviator Hermann Köhl in 1928 fascinated her so much that she applied for admission to the Sportfliegerschule in Berlin-Staaken and obtained her sport pilot's license in the spring of 1929 and her aerobatic license a short time later. In 1931, Elly Beinhorn took off on her first big ALLEIN flight to Africa, which took her over 7,000 km to what is now Guinea-Bissao. Just a few months later, the 24-year-old ventured on her next great flight, a circumnavigation of the globe. Elly Beinhorn has worked all these years for the recognition of women in aviation - a truly STRONG woman, who could not be missing in my picture series. The mixed media work consists of acrylic paint, graphite, oil pastels, tissue paper, plastic masses and paper, it has partly a textured surface.

About su sea

In 2023 and 2024, my painting was awarded 16 international art prizes.

Recognized galleries and art museums around the world curated some of these awards. Especially the first place of the art competition "World Art Awards 2023", in the category POP ART, has additionally confirmed me to further develop this unique art direction for myself and thus create my individual expression. Strong colors with contrasting effects and a poster-like style characterize my Pop Art works. My large-format portraits are the result of my inner examination of a person's biography and individual personality. This researched knowledge flows into my works as a colorful expression of emotions. I don't just paint what is recognizable at first glance, I am interested in the story behind the outer appearance. In addition to studying fine art, I also completed a degree in social pedagogy. Influenced by this knowledge, I explore socio-critical themes such as femininity, strength, resilience and the role of women in social change. Biographies of remarkable women become vivid portraits characterized by an individual style between figuration and abstraction. For my picture series "Lifelines of extraordinary women", I have selected women who, from my personal point of view, have made outstanding life achievements. These achievements take on particular significance when viewed in the context of the historical, social and political situation of the woman in question. Through my many years of teaching art in a rehabilitation clinic for women and children, I have been able to experience how painting and the intensive occupation with inner pictures can give people back their courage and self-confidence. Unrestricted, unconditional creativity can lead to a more positive self-perception, to a strengthening of one's own resources and thus to an increase in one's own resilience. This important experience and the lasting engagement with various stylistic devices and artists has had a decisive influence on my own artistic path.
