Anja Edelmann

My painting arises from the tension between conflicting forces – the beautiful and the ugly, light and dark, the physical and the spiritual. For me, abstraction is an act of internalisation, a means of making the invisible tangible. The figurative and the abstract, flesh and space, presence and dissolution are in constant dialogue. Historical models – from Titian through Velázquez and Goya to Courbet – serve as a resonant space, whose modes of expression and ways of seeing I question and transform.

My years in theatre and opera have shaped my painting. I think in terms of scenes, moods and inner states – influenced by Jürgen Rose, Dieter Dorn and Thomas Ostermeier. I am currently studying again under Markus Lüpertz. Through him, my painting gains in expressiveness and seriousness; it is through this interplay that I develop my own position between figuration and abstraction.

My female figures embody both strength and vulnerability – an act of self-assertion and a questioning of traditional ways of seeing. For me, a good painting must draw the viewer in – it must be both a mystery and a promise.
