ABOUT THIS PIECE: Color is the foundation of my work. My circles start as a mood or idea that eventually evolves into a colored circle. I am curious how different colours interact when they're placed next to each other. I experiment with intensity of colours and the different sensations colours evoke. Why a Circle?

I'm interested in dealing with this topic in my artistic practice, using an old, traditional and “slow” medium like painting. How can volatility get depicted and how can the aesthetics of a digital medium be represented visually? Painting finds possibilities of translation and has the ability to react to the flood of pictures - and this also applies to both, the artist and the viewer - with calm and contemplation!” - Gabi Mitterer ABOUT THIS ARTIST: Gabi Mitterer is based in Austria and studied Painting and Transmedia Art at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
