„Behind every scene, the artist reveals the state of mind of her protagonists, the truth behind the masks” Heidemarie Weixler-Unterer, art historian ....................................................................................... “We cannot escape the modern Babylon” says the artist and means the feeling of being in a hamster wheel, the pressure of being constantly available. What I love about Kaindels work that she looks at these modern topics and then shows this development through a very traditional and contemplative medium of painting. In this multimedia society where we are bombarded by an overwhelming amount of images everyday which we won’t remember, there’s an increasing need for paintings that can outlast time.” “Today, we do not live in the moment anymore, instead we save everything in our virtual memory – the more LIKES you get, the more important it feels, the more you think you lived in the moment. But you didn’t.” In a world where everything is posted on social media and every private moment publicized, the need to connect with analog painting pictures has become necessary. In this high-tech world, I recognize an increasing need to authentic works of art and paintings that reflect the artists’ personality.” Günther Oberhollenzer, curator, excerpt of opening speech / solo show of the artist
