die Sehnsucht Painting

Die Sehnsucht captures a moment of intense and insatiable desire. The female figure in the painting is filled with this desire. It's so strong that she can't move or speak, she's paralyzed by it. The animals (the crocodile and polar bear) represent a type of danger. A danger which, for the moment, lies dormant. The plants add a sense of growth and potential whereas the golden ginkgo leaves are more mystical and spiritual in nature. Die Sehnsucht is my first large scale oil painting, I started working on it in late 2010 and finished it in 2011. My painting process is mostly intuitive, adding whatever elements arise within me without analysis or censorship. I try to stay open and receptive to an inner sense of direction as much as possible. Die Sehnsucht has been exhibited in the Munich Academy of the Arts and at various private exhibitions. The painting has received consistent positive feedback.
