About

Anna-Lena Winterberger’s arrival in photography has much to do with her professional training in design (BA, Hochschule der Künste, Zurich, 2017). Through digital enlargement she reveals abstract designs and structures lying beneath our visible reality.

The young Swiss artist’s synergistic approach between design and photography opens worlds of light and shadow thus transcending the frontier between photography and painting. However, amazingly, the abstracted reality of her images appears to be permeated by organic life.

Winterberger’s dual affinity to nature as well as to the underlying graphic structure of the visible gives her repertoire its characteristic identity.
Through skillful manipulation of light and shadow her creations seem to move in a world between surrealistic creation and dream.

This artist from Switzerland who has shown her work in the “Gallery 53” in Manhattan (solo show 2019), seems to follow Caspar David Friedrich’s advice to aspiring artists:

_

”The painter should not only portray what he sees in front of himself, but also what he sees in himself. If he sees nothing in himself, he should stop painting.” Caspar David Friedrich, 1774

_

This dictum of the German painter is embodied in Winterberger’s abstract painterly work.
For the viewer, her photographs thus become an explorative voyage into the deeper identity of our reality: THE GREAT WORLD OF SMALL THINGS.
–Gabriele Steers-d`Harcourt–
