About this artwork
The people depicted may be deceased relatives of the artist. It's not entirely clear. The culture of remembrance in the family is difficult. A lot was kept secret. Partly consciously, partly unconsciously. The artist responds to this with the colorful overpainting of the old family photograph. He makes the people an integral part of the picture. It is the important main feature that remains from the original photograph. The rest is completely in…
part nicely painted over. It is difficult to establish an authentic connection with real people. Subsequent generations are in control of how they are seen and what remains of their image. In an interaction for good and for bad. Things are left out or colored by the decisions of what is and what is not transmitted.

« Every person I paint holds up a mirror to myself. I paint to learn about myself and to give the viewer the opportunity to look at themselves. »
Moritz Albert is an award-winning painter and draftsman based in Germany whose works have been exhibited nationally and in Belgium. His works center around themes relating to memory, identity and its formation, as well as personal introspection. Often employing models and photographs, Albert's narrative-based figurative compositions are primarily created with oils, acrylics, and lithography techniques on canvas or wood.
