Artwork location: Germany

From a series of women's portraits; My portraits reflect my own desires. As an artist, I have always been attracted by the challenge of capturing the essence of a subject as succinctly as possible. For a long time, I have also been fascinated by portraits as symbolic images that depict not only the superficial appearance of their subject, but also what lies behind it.

Barbara Kroll, Portrait11
Germany  • 1960

Presentation

My work is about dealing with the real world and above all using the images that surround us in everyday life. I often search for the unexpected. An ironic turn to images or things you might expect or their combinations. To lure a participant into new and perhaps unexplored area. I paint what attracts my attention. The theme depends on the situation. I am especially interested in unusual combinations of objects, funny motifs, and interesting colors. I am looking for an opportunity to change my mind, to develop new ideas. Words are drawings, color is an adjective and a verb, form is a structured sentence, rhymes are rhythmic repetitions of shapes, punctuation is a negative space to enchant the eye into faith, evoke emotional memory and reactions for a moment or forever. Art remains as a strong contender of how we share our thoughts and ideas. Throughout history, art has survived the tidal wave of information, and remains an unpredictable source of imagination. I live and work in Maintal, near Frankfurt am Main.

Education:

I visited an art high school in the 80s and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan.

Awards & Distinctions:

Also have I participated in several artist competitions in the last years. For example I was in the final round or one of the long/shortlisted/finalist artists at the Palm Award (2013), National Portrait Gallery: BP Portrait Award (2016), Ashurst Emerging Artist Prize (2016), Charly Smith Prize (Anthology 2016), Derwent Art Prize (2016), Luxembourg Art Prize 2016.
