Description
Charm #1, 2026

30 × 40 cm, Acryl auf Leinwand


Die Serie ‹Charm› beschäftigt sich mit Glücks- und Schutzsymbolen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturen. Ausgehend von der Symbolsprache der koreanischen Minhwa-Malerei greift sie Motive auf, die mit Langlebigkeit, Harmonie, Wohlstand und Schutz verbunden sind.


Vergleichbare Bildtraditionen finden sich auch im westlichen Kulturraum, etwa in europäischen Wasserspeiern und Maskarons oder im Nazar-Amulett, das im Mittelmeerraum weit verbreitet ist. Trotz ihrer unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsformen erfüllen diese Symbole eine ähnliche Funktion: Sie spiegeln menschliche Wünsche, Ängste sowie die Hoffnung auf Schutz und Glück wider.


Die Serie führt diese archetypischen Symbole verschiedener kultureller Traditionen malerisch zusammen und macht sowohl universelle menschliche Sehnsüchte als auch die in ihnen eingeschriebenen kulturellen Geschichten sichtbar.

Artist Statement


: “I have a keen interest in traditional arts in general and find particular inspiration in traditional Korean folk art. I express this through Western painting techniques which I learnt during my training. On the one hand, this serves to ease my homesickness; on the other, because traditional folk art is often more than just aesthetic objects. It frequently contains primal and symbolic elements that reflect the rich cultural history of a people and serve as a source of inspiration for me. The figures in my works are created through exaggeration, distortion and abstraction. Through my art, I tell stories about my origins, my dreams or even the story of a third person. I use various materials and techniques, as I select the most suitable media and formats depending on the theme in order to convey the content I have created in the best possible way."
