"For me, painting is an inexhaustible process of experiencing authenticity in the here and now." Tina Ternes is a self-taught painter with a background in body and sound therapy. She became an artist because she could never be satisfied with the surface alone. Her gaze has always been drawn to what lies behind things – those invisible threads that hold our world together at its core. In her work, she invites us to dive into the depths with her. Her works are created intuitively and abstractly, characterized by impasto techniques, wet-on-wet painting, and fluid painting, in which she explores hidden layers and floral elements with acrylic paint. Her art conveys an atmosphere of transformation, purification, and re-creation, inviting viewers to recognize the beautiful and the hidden. Inner worlds yearn to be discovered, and in an artistic space, visible forms enter into dialogue with the invisible.
