Elena Schertler

Exhibition

During her creative process, the painter from Hittisau, born in 2009, paints on roller skates, capturing movement without losing sight of her playful approach. The conviction that adults often become too serious and forget the importance of imagination forms the starting point of her work. Her aim is to counteract this by integrating playful elements into her works. This approach opens up new perspectives and visions within painting.

In her art, the artist explores the interactions between individuals and their social environment. She questions how social structures shape behavior and identity. In doing so, she reflects on the extent to which social norms restrict creative forms of expression – and how dreaming can serve as an impetus for greater creative development.

Inspired by excerpts from her own photographs, the artist assembles her compositions like a puzzle. In doing so, she combines playful 2D and 3D elements that remind viewers of their childhood and evoke a feeling of lightness and curiosity.
