CORNELIA REGINE PRAWITT

Lives and works in Veringenstadt, Germany
http://www.art-crp-prawitt.de/

Cornelia Regina Prawitt work is devoted to represent the task of the
non-visible pictorially, that is, the thing which constantly surrounds
us and is even a part of ourselves. Her works are usually created in
long painting processes. After the first layers of colours and forms
have been applied to the canvas, the artist embarks on a search for
the given and the hidden. To picture the discovered and recognized
themes, the artist should often develop several shades of colours. In
the painting process, spontaneous ideas must “grow into” an image
composition, the goal of which is in the end to function as a perfect
unity, which combines exciting colour harmonies. Themes that
personally interest the artist can also serve as an idea for painting.

The words of Paul Klee Art does not reproduce the visible, it makes
visible”, aptly describe her concerns. Even if something remains
deliberately as an implication, this precisely illustrates that, inside
the non-visible there exist movement and change, and that,
these changes are laws of nature or that, image fragments only
show parts of a whole. The dimension we cannot see but feel is
the source of her inspiration, as well as the myths, legends, and
hidden truths such as the cosmic context in which man is involved
and expresses itself in everyday life. For instance, a substantive
aspect of her work originates from nature.
