Eve from Oumuamua

Concept

My works are strongly influenced by the ideas and philosophy of the American Transcendentalism – a spiritual and literary movement occurring in the middle of the 19th century demanding people to become self-empowered and self-reliant. Also, the thought that intuition, creativity, and imagination were more important than logic and rationality is something I could entirely identify herself with. Especially Margaret Fuller, another important personality that enriched this movement and is considered an early feminist had an impact on my works. She pointed out that the feminine, sensitive, and emotional side is genius and contributes to a set of very subtle and precise observation skills. Therefore, the topics of spiritual enlightenment, connectivity, and female identity are always present in my art.
Because I have always felt a strong connection to Nature, my special focus is to raise our awareness for the environment. I use different materials, like everyday objects, fabric, cardboard, or plastic, and implements them into my artworks or create art entirely out of them. My Goddess series shows female entities that are both mythical and energetic. I want to highlight the feminine, emancipated, and evolved characteristics, sometimes even the recreational or protective maternal features. My Goddesses are strongly connected to Nature, some of them are even influenced by aboriginal art, and therefore sustainability and a re-use of materials is reflected in my creations. My goal is to create art that her viewers experience as an energy source on their walls which evokes a deeper connection to themselves. I intend the textures of my artworks to be touched so that the beholder feels a deeper connection with them and can fully internalize the effects of my creations. In my paintings I exhibit a part of my higher soul and strength as well as a transcendental connection to Nature and cosmic insight. I want to express a “higher”, liberated self that is spiritually elevated.
