About this artwork
Acrylic dispersion, pigment K268
Sfumato I–VIII initially emerged as an experimental series of works using self-made acrylic paints. Pure pigments are ground with water and combined with a synthetic resin binder to create an acrylic dispersion. The ratio of pigment, water, and binder results in a variety of surfaces—from matte to glossy, from impasto to watercolor-like. Forms appear and dissolve again, much like fleeting inner images. In retrospect,… this series already reveals a connection to Annette Kunow's earlier mixed-media series, Soul Worlds, in which she explores emotional and intuitive pictorial spaces.

« 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.
