About The Artwork

Since the French Revolution at the latest, "freedom" has been a central, broadly defined concept that continues to be highly relevant to the history of ideas, contemporary politics and the individual. The painting "Freedom Life" depicts in particular the inner freedom of the individual as a state of autonomy (freedom of will) and sovereignty (control over oneself). It is about the human being who decides with his own will, free from a guilty conscience and externally determined values - freedom from himself, from others and thus a power over himself and his actions. But decision also always means a choice against something else and thus implies responsibility and determination in his judgements and actions. The work "Freiheitsleben" illustrates the volatile and repetitive processes of freedom between secure order and chaos. In the upper half of the painting on the right, uniform buildings extend along a flat path into the centre of the painting. This place is about security, uniformity and controllability. In the middle of the painting is a person who is about to make a leap to a decision of his own accord. And this means taking a risk away from the perception of others. His gaze leads into a fragmented chaotic something, consequently a new kind of unpredictable field to be explored. The colourful people in the lower half on the left live in that constantly fight for freedom, which leads them into a realm of inner and outer roller coasters of life. It's all about self-affirmation, which arises out of itself and knows how to resist the need for foreign affirmation and appreciation. Thus the human being is in the tightrope walk between loneliness and closeness. The connection occurs if the freedom of the other is also accepted. Series: Life Series Spätestens seit der französischen Revolution umfasst „Freiheit“ einen zentralen, weitgefassten Begriff, der auch weiterhin von hoher Relevanz für die Ideengeschichte, zeitgenössische Politik und das Individuum bleibt. Das Gemälde „Freiheitsleben“ verbildlicht insbesondere die innere Freiheit des Einzelnen als Zustand der Autonomie (Willensfreiheit) und Souveränität (Herrschaft über sich). Es geht um den Menschen, der sich mit eigenem Willen, frei vom schlechten Gewissen und fremdbestimmtem Wertemaßstab entscheidet – Freiheit von sich selbst, von anderen und damit einer Macht über sich und sein Handeln. Entscheidung bedeutet aber auch immer wieder eine Wahl gegen etwas anderes und impliziert somit sie Verantwortung und Festsetzung in seinen Urteilen und Handlungen. Das Werk „Freiheitsleben“ verdeutlicht die unbeständigen und sich wiederholenden Prozesse der Freiheit zwischen sicherer Ordnung und Chaos. In der oberen Bildhälfte rechts erstrecken sich gleichförmige Gebäude auf einem ebenen Pfad in das Zentrum des Gemäldes. Dieser Ort handelt von Sicherheit, Gleichmäßigkeit und Kontrollierbarkeit. In der Mitte des Bildes steht ein Mensch, der vor dem Sprung zu einer eigenverantwortlichen Entscheidung steht. Und dies bedeutet ein Wagnis abseits der Fremdwahrnehmung. Sein Blick führt in ein zersplittertes chaotisches Etwas, folglich ein neuartiges unberechenbares Feld, das es zu erkunden gilt. Die bunten Menschen in der unteren Hälfte links leben in der ständig erkämpften Freiheit, die sie in ein Gefilde der inneren und äußeren Lebens-Achterbahnen führt. Es geht um Selbstaffirmation, die aus sich heraus entsteht und dem Bedürfnis nach Fremdaffirmation und Wertschätzung entgegenzustehen weiß. Somit ist der Mensch in der Gradwanderung zwischen Einsamkeit und Verbundenheit. Die Verbundenheit tritt auf, sofern auch die Freiheit des anderen akzeptiert wird. Serie: Lebensreihe

Veronika Spleiss (born 1993) is a painter of hidden object canvases with their own philosophical stories. "The viewer seems to get lost in the overabundance of details in her paintings, which are located somewhere between comic and Kandinsky", as Jürgen Moises of the Süddeutsche Zeitung writes. The artist often uses abstract and geometric forms. Her painting palette resembles a rush of colour tones full of expressiveness, which in turn seem reduced within a work of art. With the colour and form described, her artworks show a confusion that makes us aware of the tension and diversity of life between order and chaos. Philosophically, the painter tries to take a look at all perspectives of everyday life. Veronika Spleiss is represented by renowned art galleries such as Galerie Klose, Grüne Zitadelle, singulart, and justBEE. Her "Wimmelbilder" can be found in private collections all over the world: in Japan, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the USA.
