Katerina Belkina: Direktorenhaus - Museum für Kunst Handwerk Design

With the series Revival Katerina Belkina reinterprets the historical style of the neo-renaissance and formulates contemporary problems in context with art and psychology. In the last years her work is mainly influenced by staged self-portraits.

In her award-winning work “The Sinner” she stages herself as a pregnant woman. In the background one can see Jesus Christ and the adulteress by Lucas Cranach the younger one. Belkina imitates the clothing of the adulteress and takes up her space by putting herself in front of her. That is how the women gets released from the mess and becomes the protagonist of the painting. With the series “Paint” Belkina combines artistic and photographic elements and imitates paintings of famous painters.
