Artwork description
Birgit Stern´s favorite motifs of oil paintings are figurative representations - usually with women. Her images radiate a timelessness, at the same time they are of an unobtrusive but emphatic presence. Lost thoughts, as the depicted people present themselves, the viewer becomes an intimate observer of a scene, meets everyday situations that are currently arrested. Our world is defined by permanent restlessness and a high paced lifestyle in every regard. Thoughts are rarely conscious in the present. Birgit Stern‘s pictures show the moment when one is self-conscious, to stay in the here and now and to consciously enjoy the moment.
Stylistically, she explores the range between realistic representation and abstraction. Her pictures transmit calm, a positive atmosphere and an impulsive and lively effect. The flowing contours lend the pictures lightness and dynamics that characterize her works.
Birgit Stern was born in 1970 and lives in Deggendorf, Germany. She completed 1992 training as an advertising specialist with focus on graphic design and illustration. After working in some advertising agencies she runs since 2008 her own advertising agency named „Sterndesign“ and works as graphic designer and artist.
