Mona Lisa meets Motörhead
2011-2012
Through the rock music world’s frame of reference, the exhibitions explore gender and age-related role expectations and playing with them – without forgetting a feminist tone of voice. Some of the works depict the energy of music and how it spreads at a concert from the musicians/singer to the audience. I am one of those artists who see music as an important source of inspiration. The language of my paintings and my favorite music is actually the same – I am fascinated by a certain primitive style of expression: roughness, intuitive force, energy coming from within, pure and primitive being. One of the aims of my works is to approach such a human essence that could be recognized irrespective of one’s culture or living environment.
