Ildiko Brauer

I live in Budapest/Hungary as an artist and art teacher.

"When my emotions bubble up and don’t let me rest, I am bombarded by different visions. These images freely emerge but after a while arrange themselves side by side, behind and among the others. Similarly how musicians tune their instruments, arriving to the rhythm and pitch that suits them perfectly.
In my paintings the messages surface slowly from the the unknown and like magnets attract the colors.
But my art is not complete until it is synchronized with the emotions from which they were born.
The finished art work is the fruit of a unique transformation that I cannot compare to anything.
Experiencing a catharsis at the birth of such art makes the tedious process of creation festive and worth while.
When I part with my art, it lives on but it harmonizes with the feelings and world of the new owner. The festive feeling and the catharsis transfers to the new owner as well."
