Edy Skreinig

the Painter

 

some of my work...

 

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…”

Lieboch, Austria, January, 2010

I have a permanent atelier at my house and take orders for "painting from the heart" in a Wet-on-Wet technique for expressionist paintings. My specialty is landscape but my passion is arcs and gothic!
