Impression Ravel

Friedrichs, Karin

"Impression Ravel" was created while listening to Ravel's music, like many of my musical works.
My singing and music studies, followed by concerts, took place together with my studies in fine arts, which is why music turns into images for me
E.g .: In my performance "FarbKlangFarbe" on the stage of the Bremer Schauspielhaus together with the clarinet trio Marco Thomas, Tanja Tetzlaff and Liga Skride, I painted on 2 canvases (160 x 300 cm) to the music of Johannes Brahms and Robert Muczynski.

All my work is under the sign of polarities: Ser man in the flow of times.
The study of music, fine arts, music, dance and languages, 3 years of living and working in Ghana / West Africa (including the German Embassy Accra under Egon Bahr), as well as many professional trips in Europe, USA, African countries, the Middle and Far East , have trained my thinking and also my painterly, always recognizable style.
This is how my large group of topics in the visual arts came about: music, dance, politics, etc., in many techniques: painting, sculpture, object, installation and land art; Oil and acrylic on canvas, paper, handmade paper, polyester, etc. For 40 years I have had national and international solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums, including: London, New York, Bonn, Milan, Venice, Paris, Athens, Bucharest, Moscow.
Medals: Athens, Venice, Milan and Lombardy. Works in public and private collections.
