My project of artist interviews emerged during the pandemic. As an artist, it's very important for me to interview other creatives and share their thoughts and working methods. I know from my own experience how difficult it can be to talk about one's own work and to present oneself. Through these interviews, I want to offer other artists a platform where they can talk about and present their work. I also want to show that artists face many challenges and how they overcome these challenges to realize themselves in life.
In these interviews, I offer artists a relaxed conversational atmosphere where they can share their thoughts and working methods. I want to give viewers an insight into the world of art and creativity and show how passion and dedication influence artistic work. I believe that it can be very enriching for viewers to immerse themselves in the world of artists and see how artists think and feel.
I also believe that it is important for artists to talk more about their work and share their thoughts with the world. The art world is often very competitive, and it can be difficult to stand out and be seen. Through these interviews, I want to help other artists present their work and their personality and connect with their audience.

This video project is also an opportunity for me as an artist to meet other creatives, network with them, and reflect on my own work and artistic journey.
I am very excited to hear your opinion on the project!
In our interview with artist Shirin Donia, we had the opportunity to learn more about her positive outlook on life and her fascinating paintings. Shirin Donia is known for her large-format mixed media collages, which consist of a combination of acrylic paints, spray cans, and pens. Occasionally, she also uses oil paints to add an additional dimension to her works.
In the interview with artist Marina Krasnitskaya, we talk about her impressive paintings of women, which are inspired by great emotions such as love, longing, and hope. The painter, born in Russia and living in Germany since 1994, mostly uses female figures or abstract representations to express her emotions. In doing so, she combines elements of the art of her homeland with her own formal language, which leads to unique and appealing artworks.
In the video interview, we talk with the renowned Dutch artist Jacques Tange about his experiences in the art world. We discuss how to stay motivated as an artist, even when commercial success is absent, and what can ultimately lead to a breakthrough. Tange also shares his thoughts on why an artist's life often has its ups and downs and how to enter a romantic relationship with one's work. We also explore how an artist can develop a free spirit and how best to deal with criticism. In our conversation, we cannot avoid discussing the fundamental human feelings of love, hate, and doubt, and why they are so important for artists. These and many other exciting topics are covered in our interview with Jacques Tange.
In the interview with Robert Hettich, we talk about his eventful artist life. Robert Hettich is a dedicated artist who is active not only in Germany but also internationally. He has built up a broad network in the art scene and is committed to promoting art and artists across borders. He works with cultural officers, curators, gallery owners, and colleagues from various countries to plan and carry out international symposia and exhibitions that are intended to contribute to international understanding. Hettich is therefore not only committed to his own artistic work but also to art as a medium for intercultural understanding.
In the interview with artist Ewen Gur, we discuss various aspects of his artist's life. Ewen Gur is a French artist with German roots who grew up near Tours, France, and began drawing at an early age. Inspired by video games and French comics, he was drawn to soft contours and stories.
The interview addresses, among other things, the question of whether women always win and men are the victims, and why it is important today for an artist to be multi-talented. Ewen also talks about whether one can express one's opinion more freely in France than in Germany and what differences there are between artist and manager burnout.
Ewen is interested in new forms of figurative expression, and his art is characterized by soft, effective lines that represent a mixture of figuration and abstract elements. Overall, the interview is an exciting opportunity to learn more about Ewen Gur's artistic visions and working methods.
