Waltraud Gemein

Time and its inexorable flow, outlines the history of humanity, its passages and the actions that characterize the emotions. The German artist Briwé invites us to embark on an exciting journey through three unique works, each representing a distinctive perspective on the passage of time. The opera "Augusta Treverorum!" captures the Emperor Augustus in all his majesty and splendor, set among the historic buildings of his city The size of the figure is statuesque, as if to celebrate its greatness, but was its period of regency really good? The question the artist asks herself is: was he a good emperor? The rapid brushstrokes suggest exploring the different facets of his reign, which left an indelible mark on the history of the Roman Empire. With "Immortalis" we are invited to peer into the mystery of life after death. Through a unique combination of iconographic and abstract elements, the artist pushes us to investigate the existence beyond our earthly dimension. A mother who disappears with her child represents transience on one side and what remains on the other. This fascinating and disturbing work raises questions about our understanding of mortality and makes us reflect on the meaning of life. How many thoughts, experiences, conversations and emotions disappear when we die? Art is able to fix all this on a canvas and, through color, make them immortal. The latest work, "Arrival" catapults us into the fascinating depths of the sea. Through a palette of vibrant colors in shades of blue, the artist captures the changing beauty of the waves and reveals the secrets hidden in the unknown depths. This work transports us into an unexplored world and invites us to reflect on the passing of time in nature and the wonders that lie beneath the seemingly unchanging surface. Each painting urges us to reflect on the different temporal dimensions and to face profound questions about our existence and the choices we make in the course of life. Through the communicative power of art Briwé has managed to capture the immateriality of time and reveal its many facets.
