Technique:
This work depicts three faces connected by a single line. It explores those moments when words become superfluous because we simply understand one another. In everyday life, in familiar company, thoughts and feelings are reflected quite naturally. A silent understanding serves as a reminder of how strong a sense of belonging and closeness can be – even without grand gestures or loud words.

Johanna Hodler
Hi, I’m Hanna and my works are created from a single, continuous line, which I complement with acrylics, oil pastels and coloured pencils. My work centres on abstracted faces, through which I explore everyday thoughts and emotions – such as procrastination, anxieties, questions of identity, relationships or the pressure of endless to-do lists.
My paintings explore themes that concern many people, whilst opening up space for individual interpretations. I find it particularly fascinating how differently the faces depicted are perceived – depending on the viewers’ personal experiences and backgrounds.
During an extended period in Spain
,
street scenes also found their way into my work. These motifs emerged as part of my artistic and psychogeographical research into the interplay between personal identity and urban space. For me, they represent possibilities, encounters and the question of to what extent I feel connected to certain places.
