Helga Mehringer. The fascination of silence

Helga Mehringer's pictorial worlds evoke memories of past experiences. With bold colors applied in broad brushstrokes, the artist makes landscape and nature appear in a new light. Whether viewed from afar or up close, her depictions radiate a meditative calm, a feeling of familiarity and security. With somnambulistic certainty, she condenses what she has seen and experienced to the essentials, drawing attention to the "big in the small". Her pictures derive their radiance not from photographic precision, but from an unobstructed view of the extraordinary in everyday life, from a feeling for those moments when the world seems to stand still. Helga Mehringer opens the door to a world of silence and tranquillity in which hopes, longings and dreams can unfold.
