IRMA MICHAELA SZALKAY

Graz, AUSTRIA

For Irma, creating art – like her dedicated ‘Cycles’ – is like writing a thesis: Philosophical entities get expressed in terms of colour and shape by mans of a thorough intellectual process. She would start developing ideas, and sometimes corresponding innovative techniques, by the study and reflection of the area of interest (hence ‘Reflexionism’), collect pertinent material, identify fitting musical backgrounds, and create a mental concept in the process. The essence of this approach is to imagine a specific theme with the full spectre of its philosophical underpinnings (‘Philosophy of Shape’).
