About this artwork
Among all of Hjalmar Thelen's portraits, in which the faces speak of age, work, or melancholy, this image seems like a counterpoint. The blonde woman with the loose hairstyle wears a dark robe, the light falling warmly on her face. A delicate, difficult-to-interpret smile curls around her lips – friendly, professional, perhaps even distant.
She could be an actress presenting her role at a festival. Her pose is controlled but not rigid—her gaze… evasive but not empty. Thelen, who was a lifelong enthusiast of theater and film and a frequent visitor to the Berlinale, could have captured an apparition of that world in this figure: glamorous yet otherworldly.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
Hjalmar Thelen (1962–2017) was a Berlin painter and draftsman who made the unspectacular visible: faces, places, and everyday scenes. His works—on paper, cardboard, or canvas—are direct, concentrated, and characterized by quiet precision. Without academic training, but with a clear eye and a delicate touch, he created over 2,000 works. His art is quiet, figurative, narrative—and characterized by respect for what is depicted. His studio was his apartment, but he most enjoyed traveling by bicycle, armed with a field easel and paints, along Berlin's canals, rivers, and lakes.
