Original artwork description:

Title: AMBIVALENCE
Size: 120 x 160 cm | 47.2 x 63 in

Frame: unframed but ready to hang, further framing (e.g. a float frame) is possible

Medium: acrylic / mixed media on self-stretched and self-sewed canvas with visible seams/stitches (pls have a look at the close-up's)
Varnish: silky finish
Other: Red is energetic and powerful. It often stands for love and emotions, but it is also the color of fire and blood or warns us of danger. When "AMBIVALENCE" was finished and I sat in front of it, staring, it evoked all these opposite feelings in me. It has an incredible presence that is at the same time overwhelming, maybe even a bit brutal.

Daniela Schweinsberg is a representative of the informal, gestural abstraction. Her works are powerful, colorful and challenging for the viewer. Often the gestural moment dominates the entire rhythm of the artwork. She receives inspiration for her works from many different sources - sometimes it is the color or the material itself that appeals to her, but she also processes the most diverse impressions of her environment and nature.

Starting from the first idea, the images are then created in an intensive dialogue between the artist and the work. In the process, the image itself, its change, its expression, becomes the determining factor of the painting process, whereby the original idea can also take a back seat. Daniela’s painting process is a mixture of impulsiveness and considered approach. The finished works radiate a great deal of energy, the dynamics and spontaneity of the painting process is transferred to the viewer.
