My Art

The other side of reality

With my art I want to venture to get a glimpse behind reality. I want to open doors that are closed to the everyday reality, I want to break shackles that strangle life.

My work shows picturesque expressions of feelings,
emotions and fantasies that touch me when looking
at reality.

Life is never complete without the other side,
the irrational side, which is out of reach for the mind.

But an approach to the other side of reality
can only be accomplished through
esthetics.

Around the year 2000 the artist Hanna Scheriau discovered the medium
SILK for her images and she developed a completely new way of painting.
This new style requires a great deal of energy and feeling and painting
skills. Each of the images is fresh and unique and it cannot be copied
because of the special technique. In contrast to working with canvas or
paper the silk fabric can move freely while painting.

This artistic work is a worldwide unique kind of art, especially because of
silk, a material that today cannot be found in the established scene of art.
But silk is a medium for painting since thousands of years and extremely
durable, much more than canvas.
The silk colours for artists are not a bit photo-sensitive and they have a
special luminous power.

Despite intensive research, there seems to be no one in the art scene
who is painting on silk in a similar way as Hanna Scheriau. Her art is really an
innovation.
