ZSÓFIA

HERMANN

At the core of my artistic practice is the investigation of the human body as a hybrid entity: conceptualized simultaneously as a psychological landscape, a repository of biological memory, and an ecological metaphor. Through my paintings and space-oriented installations, I explore the thresholds between the body, nature, and the subject, where the blurring lines of anatomical and botanical structures become plastic vehicles for transgenerational trauma, personal memory, and posthuman existence.

Curriculum Vitae

I employ figurativism not as a classical or narrative representation, but as a sensitive surface capable of mapping psychological and physical vulnerability. The core of my methodology lies in a specific technical experimentation: adapting watercolor and ink—mediums traditionally confined to paper—directly onto stretched, primed canvas surfaces. This transparent layering merges classical pictorial discipline with unpredictable materiality, directly reflecting the instability of memory and the processes of existential isolation. As a recent, reflexive layer of my practice, I continuously experiment with materials, extending these painterly surfaces onto contextual supports, including found vintage book covers that carry their own historical strata and narratives, thereby further expanding the boundaries of personal and collective memory.

I do not conceive painting as a closed studio practice; I systematically expand the boundaries of the medium toward video, audiovisual installations, and performative spatial interventions. These works aim to compel the viewer beyond pure aesthetic appreciation into the realms of critical self-reflection.
