Info:
Who hasn’t experienced that feeling of being stuck between decisions, not knowing which way to go next? Lingering in moments when you don’t know what to do with yourself and a sense of upheaval creeps in, yet you don’t yet know what this upheaval means or what it will bring. Many find such phases particularly unpleasant. Worries about the future, existential fears, instability, or denial and hedonism take hold. Personally, I’m fascinated by the feelings that arise in precisely these in-between spaces, and I try to consciously recognise and accept them. These are places where new ideas emerge and where you can redefine yourself. They offer the chance to reflect and discover what one really wants. Secretly, I hope to experience such phases even in old age, for even though they pull the rug out from under my feet, they make me feel alive.

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.
