Claudia Koenig - Koenigsfigurine

Dreams and reality mix in my pictures of the inner and outer worlds of human beings.

Desires, dreams and longings. Remembered landscapes, dream landscapes and imaginary worlds. Bizarre, symbolical and striking a chord.

A human in this world, strong and fragile.
Waiting, walking, travelling, departing, arriving, alone and with others.

I would like to give the viewer the opportunity to not only see the visible but to also discover their own ideas and figures in the pictures.

There is space for the viewer’s own interpretations, their own story. Imagination can take flight in the pictures.

What’s the human being like?

Humans express themselves in varied ways with their contradictions, mortality and in their fragility.

With my sculptures I create character traits which each of us – depending on the situation – externalises and discloses; the desires and longings stay hidden and we, for the most part, are not even aware of them.

Most of my sculptures are plain, pure and elegant. Restrained in their presentation.

We are jovial and laid-back, vain, willful, aloof, dominant or timid.
The list could go on endlessly.
