Artwork description:
These copper engravings came into existence in 1999.
I remember being fascinated by ancient cultures, their concepts of beauty and history in general. For me the artefacts found at ancient tombs or other archeological excavations have a mysterious glow - a question mark inherited.
With first sight of the sculpture of Nofretete it was clear to me, that I had to transfer this beauty into my art and I did.
I just recovered these pieces, after almost 20 years, it feels like I just made a (re)discovery myself.
These pieces are also quite unique as they are part of my figurative phase which is definitely long ago and finished....probably.
The surface, the off-white paper has a distinct character, it is handmade (Büttenpapier) and the marks and traces add up to the character.
