About this artwork
This two-part work combines graffiti from Norway with photographs from Innsbruck, which were digitally composed and subsequently reworked with acrylic paints. The result is a dialogue between urban spontaneity and deliberate artistic alienation. In the upper image, Innsbruck's famous Golden Roof can be seen – accentuated with golden acrylic paint, overlaid with dripping layers of blue and yellow. The spray-painted lettering "CLOSE THE DOOR" acts…
like an urban mantra – a warning or a challenge. The fusion of the historic facade and street art aesthetic opens a space between past and present. The lower image shows an expressive graffiti face from Norway emerging from behind a digitally inserted skyline of the Nordkette mountain range – a play on perspective, symbolism, and identity. Dark acrylic overpaintings permeate the image like shadows or memories, obscuring parts of the scenery. What remains visible is all the more powerful.

Gabriele Steinlechner, a masterful painter and digital artist, creates unique works of art from combined photographs and acrylic paintings. Her technique fluently transitions between digital processing and physical execution; she plays with contrasts of light and shadow and combines unexpected details. Steinlechner's masterpieces illustrate the beauty and diversity of merged worlds, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the intertwined lines and discover their own stories within them.
"My paintings are silent spaces. Places where memory, vulnerability, and strength overlap. Between digital construction and painterly gesture, works emerge that make the invisible tangible—as a trace, as a gesture, as a gaze."
