Contents of my paintings are portraits, sometimes celebrities, sometimes unknown people, sometimes myself - but they are all women of today, full of high hopes and dreams. Full of anger, solitude and fear. Grown in a world of millions of pictures and words of the mass media. Every day more information and expectations of how perfect and easy and successful we all have to be to become happy. And the truth is that we DO so many things that it becomes always harder to BE.

But that being is where my work starts: catch a single moment, an emotion. I search for it in a face and I “write it down” by painting. But I don’t want to catch reality, I idealize: ideal beauty in the world of today. Zoomed.
Accompanied by one particularly chosen song which I repeat until I have finished my work, I underline the story I want to tell and reveal the cover of perfection to show the state of mind. Loneliness, disappointment, wrath, the end of a love story, but also courage, hope, tenderness, sensuality… This is what makes the music so essential. Strong voices and lyrics, the music of singers of my time, Amy Winehouse, Alanis Morissette, Suzanne Vega… 
For this portrait I chose "Cruel to the sensitive kind" by Tina Dico...

www.kaindel.at „Behind every scene, the artist reveals the state of mind of her protagonists, the truth behind the masks” Heidemarie Weixler-Unterer, art historian ....................................................................................... “We cannot escape the modern Babylon” says the artist and means the feeling of being in a hamster wheel, the pressure of being constantly available. What I love about Kaindels work that she looks at these modern topics and then shows this development through a very traditional and contemplative medium of painting. In this multimedia society where we are bombarded by an overwhelming amount of images everyday which we won’t remember, there’s an increasing need for paintings that can outlast time.” “Today, we do not live in the moment anymore, instead we save everything in our virtual memory – the more LIKES you get, the more important it feels, the more you think you lived in the moment. But you didn’t.” In a world where everything is posted on social media and every private moment publicized, the need to connect with analog painting pictures has become necessary. In this high-tech world, I recognize an increasing need to authentic works of art and paintings that reflect the artists’ personality.” Günther Oberhollenzer, curator, excerpt of opening speech / solo show of the artist
