Picture "The bathing X - keep true to yourself" (2024)
The "Bathers" series depicts self-confident and strong women in bathing suits in Pop Art style. At first glance, the viewer only recognizes the colourfully depicted bathing scene. On closer inspection, another socio-critical theme emerges, such as an ecological issue or a reference to a political or social issue of the day. "keep true to yourself" - a truly difficult task in today's challenging times! This work deals with the idea of following your own path in life, pursuing goals and believing in yourself - without losing heart. It is about growing and developing in life, but not changing for other people if this does not correspond to your own wishes, life path or character. I used acrylic paint, graphite, oil pastels, plastic masses and tissue paper for the mixed-media work.
