Susanne Haun

My work as an artist is like an additional sense organ for me. Until a complete statement desired by me emerges, I design and discard ideas in my head. Art is my language, my exchange with the environment, the way to make my ideas visible.

As materials for my drawings I use ink and steel / drawing pens and brushes on handmade paper, canvas and glass. I work serially and project-based. I am interested in the passage of time, which I document in my blog (), which I fill since March 2009 almost daily with words and images.

For my large-format canvases, I use acrylic paints and oil crayons in addition to ink. Most often I present my up to 4 meters long and 2 meters wide canvases without stretcher as flags painted on both sides in the room, gladly the artworks may lie completely or partially on the floor.

When I read, images arise in my head, which I convert into paintings. Smaller ink drawings I bundle in artist unique books. Nature inspires me: I immediately see the lines and surfaces when I look at them. In color charts I consider the coordination of color for my paintings. The contrast and ink applied with brush and pen on an acrylic background is one of my favorite pictorial elements. In my work I am as minimalist as necessary.
