Pastel on cardboard under glass
Like the acrylic paintings, the pastels are created independently. They are also applied in layers, like a palimpsest. The picture then gradually builds up.
This fixes the lower layers so they can be further processed. Because the spray bottle sprays somewhat irregularly, shiny areas are created alongside the matte, velvety pigment surfaces, creating a surface texture.
I'd love to display the pastels unglazed,… but that's not suitable for transport. They're too fragile.

« Through layers of paint - over each other or torn away, I reveal the true face behind the mask. »
Annette Kunow is a multidisciplinary German artist who has shown her works in Germany, the USA, China and Spain.
Even during her decades in industry and mechanical engineering, she always painted – painted to preserve her life.
Today, this power flows into her current series Sfumato – Returning to the Essence.
Finely graded layers of self-mixed pigments, light and silence dissolve the boundaries between figure and space, as before.
What was once loud and gestural now becomes quiet and poetic. Forms emerge, disappear, and become traces of an inner movement.
Her works tell of remembering, of letting go – and of returning to one’s own essence.
