About this artwork
In this work, I have taken a photographic portrait of my husband Markus from Papua New Guinea and developed it further through painting. I am not interested in the image alone, but in what lies behind it: identity, history, inner landscape.
Through overpainting, I overlay the face with an organic network of colors and forms – like a second skin that protects, conceals, and yet remains permeable. Warm earth tones, vibrant reds, and dark lines intertwine… with the gaze of the depicted person. The eyes remain clear and present, entering into a silent dialogue with the viewer.
This creates a tension between photography and painting, between visibility and mystery, between individual personality and universal human experience.

Credentials

I've been fascinated by portraiture since childhood. In 1977, I began painting nudes and in oils, and from 1995, watercolors defined my style. I taught adult education courses in Neumarkt and Eugendorf and exhibited regularly. In 2000, I added acrylic and airbrush, and in 2001, I delved deeper into the techniques of the Old Masters. A highlight was the presentation of my complete works and the opening of my new studio in Salzburg in 2002. There, I created a cycle on the 22 Hebrew letters, inspired by Jewish traditions. In 2005, I received a commission for an altarpiece in Salzburg-Sam. Since 2014, I've been working on the Expressive Realism acrylic cycle.
For me, art means expressing the invisible behind the visible. My focus is on the human being—their story, their depth. Various techniques help me make emotions visible. My works aim to touch people, to make identity and spirituality tangible.
