Self-reliance (Artemis) Drawing

In her artwork Constanze Thielecke often combines historical, contemporary and mythical figures, placing those in new imaginary relations to each other, exploring questions about social relations and identity. Her drawings have an otherworldly feeling and subtle emotion to them. The female protagonists, although lost in a world of their own at the same time radiate strength and dignity. The mixture of imaginary and realistic style suggests tension and its dissolve, interchanging stiffening roles towards an ambiguity of the female figure and her diverse story lines. "I love drawing and i love drawing archetypes and at the same time I would like to point out the changeability of what we perceive as the one and only truth because this truth is culturally and socially constructed. Furthermore I love to create a feeling of joyful wanderlust and mysterious connection with my drawings." Constanze Thielecke is a visual artist living and working in Berlin. She studied Fine Art (Aberystwyth University, 2010) and Art in Context (University of the Arts, Berlin, 2014).
