ABOUT ME

Born in 1966, Bella Wiedl experimented with different materials and colors intensively until she found her own neo-symbolic style. Her profession as an actress has a strong influence on her art: it is the job of an actor to look behind the facade of a person in order to portray their true character. Similarily, her sculpturepaintings enable a view into the inner -being. With the series “KÖRPERSPRACHE” (body language), each painting shows a person in a particular posture which represents an emotion or an emotional situation. The texture in the background should strengthen the posture or cause an antagonistic infringement. A distinctive feature of all sculpturepaintings which is sometimes not immediately visible, is a gold-leaf inlay. Symbolically it implies the origin of the theme or a very vulnerable spot.

By purposely rejecting bright colors and the play of light and shadows on the reliefs, the viewer is provided with an enhanced freedom of interpretation. 

The objects have been acquired by and are on display in select galleries, companies, top clinics, therapy rooms and domestic rooms. Bella Wiedl presently resides in the south of Munich and her studio is located in an unused swimmingpool.
