SONJA RIEMER
Born and raised in a small rural village in Austria, I have been concerned with colors and shapes since my childhood. What started decades ago with watercolors and crayons has become experiments with various materials and techniques over the years.
As a self-taught artist, I have to experiment to transfer the images that appear in my head to the canvas. This is exactly what art is for me: something arises from a thought, but the result is not a concrete reflection of the thought, but rather develops into something independent under the painter's hand. This experimental process in connection with the repeated engagement with the subjects, nature, city and people make me an artist.
INSPIRATION
A profound fascination for transience-weathering-transformation are visible in all my works. The objects made of clay concentrate on the human representation, play with concealing and simultaneously framing heads and a new interpretation of beauty.
In contrast, the loneliness, calm and movement of nature inspire me to my pictures. Spherical landscapes emerge in which humans mostly only play a secondary role. The use of rust and patina shows the change and impermanence.
