Original artwork by Anna Wirth
- Acrylic and oil on canvas
- 120 x 160 cm
Following an intensive exploration of the individual in my previous artistic works, in which contact with other figures could only take place across the boundary of the canvas, I turned my attention to the theme of direct interpersonal interaction. The first work, ‘HEALING’, stylistically builds on my previous works and is based on the principle of yin and yang.

Having explored the individual in depth in my previous artistic works, where contact with other figures could only take place across the boundary of the canvas, I turned my attention to the theme of direct human interaction. The first piece, “HEALING”, stylistically echoes my earlier works and is inspired by the principle of Yin and Yang.

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.
