Originales Kunstwerk von Anna Wirth

- Acryl und Öl auf Leinwand

- 120 x 120 cm.

In dem Kunstwerk „POKERFACE“ habe ich mich intensiv mit der Rolle der Farbe als Bedeutungsträger im Bildkontext auseinandergesetzt. Grün kann in diesem Zusammenhang vielfältig interpretiert werden: Es erinnert beispielsweise an die Farbe der 100-Dollar-Noten und die Bezüge eines Pokertisches. Im Kontext des Bildes steht das Grün jedoch nicht nur für Hoffnung, sondern kann ebenso etwas Ungesundes und Giftiges symbolisieren, wie etwa die Spielsucht. Als Betrachter, der quasi als Mitspieler agiert, bleibt einem die Mimik des Mannes verborgen. Der Versuch, das Pokerface zu durchschauen, scheitert somit.

Der Versand kann bis zu 21 Tage dauern. Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis.

Original artwork by Anna Wirth

- Acrylic and Oil on canvas

The artwork "NIGHT THINKING" serves as a counterpart to "DAY DREAMING." Both pieces explore the contrast between thoughts during the day and at night. During the day, thoughts are often suppressed or glossed over by daily routines, while at night, one is more defenseless against these thoughts and must confront them. The daylight is represented by golden applications, while the silver elements symbolize the nocturnal moonlight.

Shipping can take up to 21 days. Thank you for your understanding.

Anna Lena Wirth

Hi, I’m Anna and I was born in Mönchengladbach in 1998. Creativity has played a major role in my life ever since I was a child, which is why, after completing my A-levels, I decided to study a combination of Art and German Studies, graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Painting. Whilst studying art, I focused my practical work on the genres of painting and photography, learning mainly from Katja Pfeiffer and Christoph Westermeier. To this day, the aspects of art and language remain closely intertwined in my creative processes. Language plays a particularly significant role as a source of inspiration and during the development of the concepts for my works.

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.
