Oil pastels and acrylic on 300gsm paper / 2025
Technique & Info:
A quiet, warm sense of arriving. Not a moment of euphoria, but rather a calm inner knowing: I don’t need to change anything right now, prove anything, or rush anything.
It feels peaceful, almost like letting go – of expectations, of comparisons, of the pressure to be ‘further’ or ‘better’. Instead of doubt or restlessness, there is trust. Not because everything is perfect, but because, right now, it somehow feels right, exactly as it is.
The work was created from a single line, which was then enhanced with oil pastels and acrylics.
Shipping:
The artwork is shipped on 300gsm paper (unframed), including a certificate of authenticity and a signature on the reverse.
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.
