Biography - Aktrice | Edith Egger

About me

A principle of me is: my works are also to be enjoyed.

My starting-point, like that of many artists, is the love of colours, together with symbolism and the human body. I have enormous admiration for the great masters - Rembrandt, Rubens, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian,. then Monet, Mucha, Klimt, Dali,.... to mention only a few. For me, the main thing is the love of painting, and I simply have to let out all that is simmering inside me!

On the one hand the starting point of my art work begins with the simplicity of abstract compositions including different materials. The realistic motive painted in an elaborate technique which the old masters were already using is a complete contrast to it on the other hand. Both styles should become symbioses.

My art work has got a symbolic character. You can see this in the way how I combine my abstract compositions, the material and the final realistic painting as a unity. This unity should communicate with the viewer on a non-verbal level and should transport a message.

At first sight you can barely recognise these intrinsic harmonious compositions as they grow out of a flowing creative process, a mystical intuition rather than a target orientated draft. Step by step everyone who really gets involved with my work will be increasingly drawn into the symbolic character and profound dramatics behind the superficially realistic aesthetic motives. The sensual delights I can feel in my action – I am often told – are well to be seen in my art.
Tenderness alone is too soft and roughness by itself has no inner poetry. Only the composition including both brings forth exciting illusions.

As a main topic I love to manoeuvre along tracks of intuitionally lived femininity. With sensitivity resulting from experience gained in life I try to depict the emotional challenges of current times and to visualise expressively conditions of insecurity but also of self confident potency.

An artist whose works touch you deeply is “just” an artistic instrument of a higher potency, a great energy standing behind him which he transforms to fascinating pictures by the gift he was born with.

My mind starts to wander and I let it happen and I want you to follow in my steps so that my works can touch you deeply.
