WINDOWS & PORTRAITS - Exhibition by Svetlana Petrasch

Faces have fascinated Svetlana Petrasch since she was a child. She spent hours looking at portraits in magazines and putting them on paper. Over time, she developed a passion for visualising not only facial features, but also emotions. "The eyes are the mirror of the soul," she says - and what are the windows then? Perhaps the soul of the house.

So a few years ago, she also began painting windows. On an evening stroll through familiar or new alleyways, she looks inside, imagines the people who live there and transforms her impressions into pictures. For her, windows are like reflections of people - each one tells its own story, its own little life.

The artist was born in Penza, Russia, studied classical painting and art education (1994-1999) and worked for many years as a freelance painter in Russia - primarily in the field of portraiture and mural painting. One particular project took her to the vicinity of Moscow, where she worked for several years on the mural design of a monastery church in the style of classical icons.

Since 2019, Svetlana Petrasch has lived in Dresden, where she works as a commissioned painter and art educator. Her works - from portraits and landscapes to large-scale murals - are characterised by a positive, colourful view of the world.
