About this artwork
Acrylic dispersion, pigment K266
The acrylic paintings are created with pure pigments. A synthetic resin binder, the acrylic dispersion, is added to a water-pigment mixture.
The amount of acrylic dispersion can control the surface of the paint, either a glossy or a matte acrylic paint.
Depending on the amount of water added, the paint can be applied like an oil paint or like a watercolor paint.
The amount of pigment creates a smooth or pastel-like… surface.
After drying, the acrylic paint is waterproof.
I particularly appreciate the surface structure of the acrylic paintings, which can be smooth, wrinkled, shiny or matte depending on the composition of the paint.
I learned this way of making paint with synthetic resin binder from the artist Elvira Bach in a workshop.
Since then, I have been mixing all the colors for painting myself.

« 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.
