About this artwork
The artist isolated the depicted woman from an old photograph inherited from his grandmother and placed her in a new context. This approach relates to culture of remembrance and historiography. A few generations later, the person can no longer be assigned. What her life, her reality looked like, can only be guessed at. Through the new contextualization, the artist draws attention to this difficulty, which also affects one's own identity and its formation.

« 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.
