Artist Statement for Petra Voegtle
|
|
|
My vision and my goal as an artist is to be innovative, narrative and imaginative. Using brush, carving knife, camera lens and other tools for my work I want to create art with elements of traditional techniques and materials in new contexts that is recognized for its uniqueness. I also want to create a strong dialogue with the viewer, using images from life in all its facets.
Although I feel a strong affinity to ancient cultures my attention lies currently on those subjects and themes which are directly in my next environment. This does not mean that I do not turn to other subjects from time to time, such as travelling impressions or other pleasant memories. Incorporating these images in one or more paintings serves as a valve for more demanding phases.
My imagery can be figurative, abstract or even grotesque. There lies a great pleasure for me in overdrawing serious issues of human behaviour in an admonishing attitude on one side but equally important is for me the admittance of weaknesses within all grandiosity.
Photography has led me into another art medium. My love for manipulating what the eye depicts from nature leads me to incorporating ideas from pure imagination into another reality in order to test the limits.
