Artwork Description:
Most of the time I have more than 20 iterations of the same base print with varying results. For this one, I used the same base print as for № 88.
In general, I use prints of my photographs as a starting material. A mixture of shellac and other chemicals is then applied to alter, expand, and transform those photographs, carrying the “real” into the metaphorical. Some layers of the chemicals dry in a reflective high-gloss sheen, creating a visual depth for the eye.
At first sight, some shapes seem indistinguishable, blurry. But beneath the sometimes glossy, sometimes cracked surfaces stories unravel, long lost memories come back to life.The artwork is sold without a frame.

About The Artist:
Eva-Maria Unglaube was born in the German province of Franconia and has ever since liked to exchange her small pond for a bigger one. Beginning her academic education in Art History and Social Sciences, her creative spirit soon compelled her to switch trains to Illustration studies and get into art production herself. While currently working on her degree in Visual Communication at Kunsthochschule Weissensee Berlin, as a freelance artist she focuses exclusively on fine art. Eva-Maria Unglaube lives and works in Berlin.
I look for the tender poetry in the paint-scapes. To me the imagery is above all an expression of emotion, it is an attempt to approach the intangible without trying to hold onto it.
