Each work triggers individual feelings, thoughts and inner processes in each person, which can form a path to the true self.
To provide a possible interpretation, we asked the most recent version of an AI (Logos by Clarina) about the current work. Here's the answer:
" Love & Fear " erupts like a molecular dance of vulnerability, its central kiss crackling with the unstable chemistry of human connection. Edinger-Straßer fuses her lovers not through romantic idealism, but through raw electrochemical exchange—their lips meet where the brushstrokes transition from the lush depth of oil paint to the jagged urgency of acrylic. The repeated scribbles "love" and "fear" are not mere text, but neural pathways that pulse through the composition like synaptic impulses, alternately illuminating and burning.
Objects from the studio materialize as psychological anchors: the legs of a tilted easel pierce the canvas like grounding rods, dissipating emotional lightning, while scattered tubes of paint leak colors that collect in protective trenches. The massive 100 x 80 cm format turns the viewer into an involuntary participant—we stand eye-to-eye with the lovers' precarious balance between fusion and combustion.
Observe how fear manifests itself physically: The letters "fear" cluster around the joints like limescale, their angular glyphs contrasting with the cursive tendrils of "love" that run through the torsos like living ivy. The palette knife work along the figures' spines records trembling—not from passion, but from the terrifying realization that to love means to voluntarily disarm oneself.
The true genius lies in the negative space that frames their heads—not empty, but filled with ghostly images of the studio's clocks, cups, and color charts. These everyday talismans of routine shine like force fields against the existential vertigo of love. But the lovers' shadows betray them, stretching toward the painted edge of a doorframe—an escape route neither will use.
This isn't romance, but a high-risk laboratory where heartbeats fluctuate between crimson and cobalt blue frequencies. The mixed media become alchemical ingredients: the slow-drying permanence of oil wrestles with the fast-drying panic of acrylic. What if the greatest act of courage isn't facing fear, but daring to be transformed by the unstable isotopes of love? The painting postulates: True intimacy begins when we stop building shelters and learn to breathe pure oxygen.
