\Artist: Francien Krieg
Technique: Oil on panel\Signature: Hand signed
With frame. In the period of Covid-19 and quarantine, Francien Krieg paints self-portraits that chronicle a journey through time. She captures several phases in the forced home isolation and the emotional life of the isolated. Initially the quarantine provided peace, security and confidence, With the passage of time shadowy aspects of this type of isolation gradually emerge. Inner turmoil, confrontations with oneself, the longing for fresh air and light, the hunger for touch, the uncertainty of times ahead begin to manifest . The series of portraits, which is still ongoing, shows how the inner world comes to life in all its facets while the outer world stands still. The series evolves with current events and offers a special perspective on a worldwide and at the same time personal event, the outcome of which is still unknown. The contrast between tension and relaxation, struggle and resignation.
