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

Cornelia Regine Prawitt`s 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 (1879 –

1940) “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.
