how a living bunny shows an artist the garden`s pleasure Painting

Basia is a Hamburg based artist. Her figurative paintings and drawings blend childlike seriousness with freaky beauty. Being aware of constant influences by life, art history and literature she condenses imagination and its knots during the painting process and works neither with concrete templates nor the observation of outside objects. She uses oil on canvas and ballpoint on paper. Her aim is to overcome realism humorously without being disjointed or creating synthetic secrets. Figures emerge that oscillate between surreal cartoons and classic melancholy depictions. By using the combination of the En face-position, sharp contours and small size canvas the artist confronts the onlooker with naive mental directness and decorative ambiguity. Basia studied Fine Arts at University of Fine Arts Hamburg Lerchenfeld.
