Corinne Korda
About
Born in Hersbruck in October 1963.
My first and foremost motivation in life is love and I guess this shows in my paintings, too.
If I were to describe my artwork, I would compare it to a cocktail composed of these ingredients:
French romance and eroticism, American movie glamour, bits of English humor and Latin “joie de vivre” and, very important, because this rather sweet mixture would be indigestible without a touch of bitterness, a well tempered dose of German Angst.
Therefore, people are naturally the main subject of my paintings. Just sometimes – and I guess this is related to fond memories of a childhood spent at the Bavarian countryside – I have a terrible longing for nature and wilderness. In these moments, I find my motives in landscape, plants and animals.
The techniques I prefer are oils, pastels and watercolor.
