Edy
Skreinig
the Painter
SKREINIG Edy born on the
21st. of February, 1970 in Natal, RN (Brazil) This artist is influenced by the
art of impressionism and was taught in São Paulo by the well known teacher and
painter Elza Martins whose work of art are well spread and acknowledged world
wide. Skreinig has been painting actively since 1994 but has been in contact
with different types of art since her young age, writing poetry and common
opinion texts for newspaper and magazines. She has participated actively in
several projects and poetical anthologies in Brazil, since the age of twelve
years old and her painting work has been sold to art enthusiasts all over the
world in private or public expositions. Some of her written works and visions
were also contributed to children’s magazines in the United States as a free
lance writer in the years of her early motherhood. A busy working-mother and
English teacher she lives now in Austria with her husband and four children
where she paints as in “a labor”, allowing her emotions to flow in spaces of
every nine months when the fascination of her work is then “born” in a “each =
one of a kind project” - completely unexpected and new.
With a deep interest in the mystic and profound effect of the paintings as a way
of relaxation and meditation, she describes that “working on the chosen theme,
turning it to all possible directions; exploring it; modifying it; inspiring
oneself in it and with it, to reconstruct it and to filter its sensations: the
picture will then seem far but visible, it will reappear after various mutations
and metamorphoses which will push it further after one patiently has elaborated,
nourished, distorted, reformed, supported and envisioned it, to, at last, reveal
it – each work is not made only as a product of your hands but as your
continuation, your feelings made in expression, your past, your future, your
child…”
