Pink Star Print

People are the main subject in my work - a face is simply a fascinating landscape. Even though I am attracted to beauty, somehow there is always a tiny touch of bitterness that slips into my paintings, tempering the sweetness. My heros may be glamorous, they are still mildly concerned. Will their beauty keep its promise? Will love be around the corner? "Joie de vivre" versus "German Angst"... At times when the latter tries to dominate, I turn towards motives found in nature and still life. The techniques I prefer are oils, pastels and watercolor. More recently, I have started to do linocuts and etchings, as well. My works are found in private collections in Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland, England, Scotland, Brazil, Australia and the USA. www.corinnekorda.com
