Sabine Finkenauer
My artistic practice is based on drawing, from which I develop and concretize my ideas in a visual way. The motifs appear and evolve in my sketchbooks through a process of observation and perception, awaiting their subsequent transformation and translation to other materials and media such as paintings, sculptures and site specific interventions.
My work is a process of synthesis and clarification that starts from the figuration present in my earliest work, which evokes an imaginary related to childhood, nature and the domestic environment. Over the years it has crystallized into a vocabulary of simple forms, inspired by ornament and geometry.
My artistic method can be defined as a game for which I establish the rules by playing, and above all, an aspiration for simplicity in which I believe lies the greatest beauty.»
