Exhibited at Elisabeth Bukenbergers' Open Studio Event in Berlin


"Pause: The Girl in Jeans and a Blouse" serves as a tableau of contemplation, inviting viewers to delve into the intersection of external appearances and inner truths. Set against a backdrop of strong contrasts between light and dark, the woman depicted pauses in a moment of introspection, her gaze fixed on a distant horizon. Dressed in a striped blouse and jeans, she embodies a laissez-faire demeanor, symbolizing a sense of nonchalance amidst the complexities of existence. Seated upon an undefined object, she becomes a focal point for reflection on the themes of
identity.

Central to the narrative of this piece is a critique of the relationship between consumerism and artistic integrity within the fashion and beauty industries. I aim to critique the fast-paced nature of the fashion industry and its products. By juxtaposing external appearances with the deeper truths of human emotion, I prompt viewers to question societal norms and ponder the intrinsic value of authenticity. Ultimately this painting serves as a mirror for introspection, challenging viewers to confront their perceptions and contemplate the delicate balance between surface impressions and inner realities within the ever-evolving landscape of fashion and identity.
