The MIA (Made In Austria) project is focused on eleven Austrian personalities, women and men with great achievements in art, music, sports, engineering, technology and natural science. These celebrities lived and performed in completely different ages, places or circumstances, all driven by the same wish – creating something new, something significant and long lasting.

I chose to work with a mixture of freehand painted underlay and multiple silk-screen prints on it. Because of the print-repetition, I had the opportunity to explore the particular individual more intensely, finding completely different expressions and moods of one and the same person only through the color.

Acrylic, silkscreen prints on paper, 63x83cm + single prints in black 50×70, 2016-17
