Blue Motion Painting

Regina Thyssen is an Austrian artist who was able to stretch herself from fine arts to an extremely abstract irrational concept. One of her main objectives was the realization of artworks having the female body as character: everything takes the shape of a daring and distinctive style, by creating genuine human landscapes. Beyond the female body, the artist has recently been involved with new subjects related to more abstraction. The artist opted for a technique taken from the abstract Expressionism which is very typical in America. Her paintings are shown as a chaotic intertwining of lines and colored spots, with a total absence of rational organization . It can be easily found a strong drama, through which Regina is able to unleash her inner tension. The painting becomes not a planned action in the ways of its execution and in the final effects but it is exactly in this act that art lies. At the core o f the artwork, artist personality is found in a risk status, putting her life at stake in a psychological and spiritual sense. The Artist's living place and of her art is therefore the picture: a space free from aesthetic conventions, where the painter includes her emotions and life energy. The artist lives not because he / she depicts something, but because she / he decides to act. This movement and precisely this ''Action " is considered as taking the risk of painting without any project, leaving the painting to arise and appear at the moment. „What was supposed to be inserted on the canvas was not an image, but an event. The great moment arrived when it was decided to paint just for painting. The acts on the canvas were gestures of freedom, having aesthetic and moral values." (Harold Rosemberg)
