Irmtraut Fliege

Beyond the surface
Coming across human beings with all their shortcomings, their fragility as well as their humor and ability to first break and then restore your heart - always reflecting a picture of my own self. This is how I have entcountered the human figures of my artworks.
Different kinds of paper, sometimes multi-layered using rabbit skin glue, pigments, bees wax and shellack are the basic materials of my works.
