Jacqueline Klein-Breteler - Painting “Blue”

Painting “Blue” by artist Jacqueline Klein Breteler from 2020. Purchased directly from the artist's studio. The edges are painted so can be mounted directly on the wall. Statement artist: Fragile, vulnerable, fragile, sensitive, with great inner strength. These words describe the women in my work. The paintings are a tribute to the vulnerability of women. Vulnerable in her feelings about herself and her loved ones. Vulnerable in the openness with which she shows her emotions. And the strength needed to stand in life as a strong, self-confident woman. This struggle between inner strength and almost tangible vulnerability fascinates me and I try to shape it by direct, coarse brushstrokes in contrast with finely worked out details. With a lot of emphasis on the play between light and shadow. An intense and emotional encounter between image and viewer, a moment of recognition.
