Detailed description

Picture "The bather II - keep in view the important things in life..." (2023)

This work was awarded the 1st prize of the International Art Award World Art Award 2023 in the category POP ART. Also in the series of bathers it is again the representation of self-confident and strong women who are depicted in primarily gaudy colors (leaning on the Pop Art) in swimwear. At first glance, the viewer recognizes only the colorfully depicted bathing scene. Only at a closer look, a socially critical issue is revealed. This bather, made up and with a cigarette, can trigger associations in the viewer on the subject of femininity, emancipation of women, freedom, self-confidence, ..... In the smoke of the cigarette there is the statement "keep in view the important things in life..." - what ARE the important things in life for you? The question about the importance of appearances and beauty standards, about transience and a body image shaped by the media can arise.

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.
