About this artwork
Acrylic dispersion, pigment K210
These expressive portraits oscillate between figuration and abstraction. Faces emerge from rapid, gestural brushstrokes, remaining open and ambiguous at the same time. Eyes, mouth, and hands appear like snapshots of inner states – oscillating between melancholy, irony, and quiet observation.
The paintings are created using homemade acrylic paints. Pure pigments are ground with water and combined with a synthetic… resin binder to form 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.
