Antonella Anselmo lives and works in Vienna. In her paintings, books and works on paper the hidden in everyday life becomes visible. Through the association-netting and the interaction between memories and visions, just as the overlaying of layers and colours the „universal texture of this world“ surfaces.
„The dreams occupy the emptyness while sleeping, but during the awake afternoons I search for a language for teh nothingness and find it in paintings, in which the emptyness stands for a whole life. For the whole life. Are you ready to endure that?“ (Peter Zimmermann)
