Aktrice (EdithMariaLesnik)
www.aktrice.net
Aktrice’s creations invite us to contemplate and enjoy. Eroticism and mysticism are joined to
form an insoluble unity. Aktrice’s dramatic use of light and shadow and the intensity of her
colour, especially the colour red underscore her passion for life and the suffering that reveals
life’s meaning to us. The artist shows us a world that seems to be unreal and yet at the same
time, speaks of very real people and emotions. She uses ordinary objects like roses and chains
as well as plants and buildings to symbolize the inner workings of our minds and souls.
Aktrice’s love of detail is brilliantly executed through the use of the Old
Masters mixed media techniques to attract the attention oft he viewer
and to lead him into the magical world of her paintings.
This painting technique goes back tot he late gothic era and makes it
possible to create masterpieces of amazing colour intensity and luminosity.
Often oil paints produced by the artist themselves are used as
well as colours that even today are made with granite rolls and cold
pressed windmill-linseed oil. This very expensive and time consuming
method produces immaculate, unaltered, lightfast colours.
