Barbara Beiwind

The artist Beiwind creates art that has its source in figurative and abstract painting, but also transcends into modern imagery and photography.


Artists statement.

I took my time to find out my own colour, covering any real meaning of both my figurative and abstract paintings instinctively, concurrently letting the beholder find a universe for his own mind’s creation. The pivot where my work comes from could candidly be acknowledged as darkness. Furthering to try and meet the dare of painting, a lightness approach is in a constant grapple with the borderline of dissatisfaction. This duel is subsumed into an engagement with an intended secret, mystery and calmness. The soul paints its own stories, through the abstraction of the subject’s physicality it is often taken out of the context of the perceptible proscenium.

staying open for invidual interpretations, my art explores the dark, cold, lone thoughts, focusing on atmosphere rather than realism.

the prussian blue is my favorite color, and i am happy with this.

i am european, born in ortelsburg, studied in hamburg, living and working on stord.
