About this artwork
These expressive figures emerge from a spontaneous, gestural painting process. With rapid brushstrokes and overlapping areas of color, bodies, faces, and movements develop from the paint itself. The figures appear playful, poetic, and enigmatic – somewhere between human, animal, and fantastical creature.
The works are painted with homemade acrylic paints. Pure pigments are ground with water and combined with a… synthetic resin binder to create an acrylic dispersion. Depending on the mixture, matte or glossy, pasty or transparent color surfaces are produced.
Since attending a workshop with the artist Elvira Bach, Annette Kunow mixes all her own paints.

« 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.
