What you see is what you get Painting

Conny's paintings emit light, structure and balance but above all they embody the elegance of "movement". While her portraits and compositions are rather photorealistic, she tends to surrealism too. Conny sees to it that positivity prevails. "Look at those sparkling eyes, the optimistic smile, fierce attitude and the use of bright colors", the artist says. She introduces humor into her works in order not to make them too heavy. Conny let the figurative rub shoulders with the abstract. "One has to work hard to make progress", she says. "I do not paint pictures and nor do I paint things that most people will jump to buy immediately. For me, what is most important is that people can make a pure emotional connection when they see my work. I prefer to capture and expose the fulltime range of human emotion. Art is seducing. I aim not to conceal anything in my paintings; on the contrary, I would rather reveal everything which is hidden from us. But to do so properly is a slow process. Being isolated in my studio all the time I do not forget my family still needing me without any doubt. I take step by step, especially not to embarrass them. It is hard! But on the other hand, I constantly feel the urge to tell what I need to tell in my works. I get more and more restless because the revelation is getting closer and closer." "Striving for the best is enormously important", she says herself "only by doing so you can make progress!".
