In the artwork "Uferträumerei", created for the Painting Festival 2023 at the Landesgartenschau in Fulda, a harmonious connection between humans and nature is revealed. The painting measures 70x100 cm and combines elements of acrylic paints and charcoal drawings.
At first glance, the viewer should be captivated by a picturesque riverside landscape of the Fulda River. Blooming flowers line the riverbank and lush greenery extends in all directions. However, the true uniqueness of this artwork lies in its silhouette: A woman, contemplative, dreamy, drawn in charcoal over the colorful image, rises from the natural splendor. The woman represents humanity and emphasizes our intimate connection with nature. The rest of the painting, depicting the starry sky, is a reference to Fulda's epithet as the "City of Stars".
This artwork calls on us to be aware that humans are an inseparable part of nature. We do not stand above it, but are an integrated part of flora and fauna. Our responsibility for the protection and preservation of our environment is of crucial importance.
"Uferträumerei" reminds us that we should live in harmony with nature as humans, and that our well-being and that of nature are closely intertwined. We are animals, part of the fauna, and therefore an inseparable part of the natural world.
