>Hand-picking moments and developing in parallel with and to the artwork<

My works are personal. An expresion of experiencing and feeling. Aiming to understand human experiences. Various techniques and materials support the themes in my paintings and objects.

The works fit in with the "Slow Art" movement, which began in 2008: being willing to engage in a longer contemplation of a work of art - a deceleration in an era that has become very fast indeed.

As an artist, however, I refer to the slow physical process of creating art. This allows me to constantly engage with the ongoing process. I paint and overpaint scenes - I scratch and scrape off colour in some places. The past reveals itself in the form of what had been painted before, now appearing in a new context. The surfaces take the appearance of something living, almost textil and yet delicate. They are abstract and form a contrast to the figurative when considered in detail or standing alone. They create a place of tranquillity. Creating my works of art in a process which streches over a longer periode of time.

It is confrontal. The artwork and I, too, change in parallel with each other and at the same time it is a struggle for a universal truth.

>Surreal compositions of intense moments<

"In surreal compositions, the artist Marion Meinberg explores experiences and emotions of personal origin, which at the same time always stand for general human incidents and perceptions. The works are created in numerous processing steps of overpainting and removal which leads to a lengthy examination of the subject - a form of Slow Art, which has a manifest effect on the image up to the physicality of the almost textile-like surfaces of the pictures. 

The compositions, often rich in detail, allow many levels of interpretation and reveal new aspects when viewed over a longer period of time. Many individual elements and frequently appearing mythical creatures seem to have a symbolic meaning, the decoding of which is a great pleasure and opens up a wide spectrum of readings. A very independent artistic position, colorful and mystical at first glance and with great depth on closer inspection."
