Paris, Louis Vuitton Foundation. I love Paris and I admire the architect Frank Gehry. With this image, I illustrate how I perceive architecture. This building is a sensory space; I experience it with all my senses. With my eyes, I take in the form. With my hands, I explore the material. With my sense of smell, I perceive the building itself, the people who visit it, and everything within it. With my ears, I take in the building's sound and the background… hum of voices. I perceive the totality of these impressions not so much in sequence but in parallel. I consciously choose a multidimensional representation, which I create freehand with ink and gouache, and which reflects the entirety of my impressions.
Barbara Schwinges uses drawing, painting, and calligraphy; her artistic path was shaped by early work as a technical draftswoman and studies in visual communication. She combines technical rigor with the fluid, emotional language of calligraphy and often works without aids, directly from the moment. Her works, especially minimalist architectural drawings and calligraphic portraits, reveal emotional resonances and challenge the viewer to experience architecture and personality as a living presence. Her art conveys depth, thoughtfulness, and a subtle poetry of perception.
