Description of the painting ‘:’
In the two works from the BRIGHT THOUGHTS series, I have focused on the deliberate use of colour in the blurred faces and the resulting visual effect. The vibrant colours symbolise energy and joie de vivre and stand in direct contrast to the black-and-white painting. Both works feature the same shades of pink and orange, though these have been applied with varying degrees of intensity in each piece.

Anna Lena Wirth
My aim has always been to portray people as individuals. For many years, I painted portraits, believing that people’s faces best reflect their identities. When, whilst studying art at the University of Wuppertal, I came into contact with dementia within my personal circle and attempted to depict the process of forgetting, I reached my limits. A person’s outward appearance could not reflect their inner processes. In search of a solution to my problem, I gradually moved away from depicting faces, until I eventually omitted them entirely. Since then, my works have played with the identities and realities of the people depicted. Through a blend of figurative, realistic and abstract elements, I allow the viewer to look behind the façade of faces, into the feelings and thoughts of the figures portrayed.
My in-depth exploration of this subject matter – including in my Bachelor’s thesis in painting – continues to shape my painting style to this day and inspires me to constantly reinterpret a wide variety of themes relating to the human condition. I prefer to work in series, in which I explore individual themes in depth and interpret them in various ways.
