Stefanie Ruprecht
Since her early childhood days art has played a very important role for Stefanie Ruprechter, born 1985. Ruprechter looks beneath the surface of a visible reality. The outcome is a subjective perception of the world. She shows an inner psychological reality, the experience of subconsciousness is expressed through different painting styles. For Ruprechter, painting is first and foremost a reflection of feelings. She creates her paintings with a combination of different levels of reality. Like collages, she uses different concepts and mixes the experiences of time and space.
