"Liv Jung-König's pictures are like the memories of an entire generation - a little blurred, a little wistful, but always of universal accuracy." Max Scharnigg, SZ

Interview

What inspired you to become an artist and when did you start taking art seriously?

There is no anecdotal key experience; painting has always been a natural aspect of my life.


Which artists or art movements have most influenced your style and work?

Sorolla! Joaquín Sorolla inspires me again and again and I cannot imagine ever looking at his pictures with a tired eye. I am constantly discovering something new in them. In general, I tend to prefer artists who capture the moment, for example Wendelin Wohlgemuth or Gerhard Richter. I also find this in the texts of WG Sebald, which have impressed and fascinated me immensely.


Could you walk us through the creative process you go through when creating a new piece?

At the beginning there is an idea that I want to implement. It is then hardly tangible at first and lets me walk through the world with a sharpened view for a few days. And when this idea takes shape, the implementation begins. I rarely make sketches in advance, at most to test a color combination or a detail. While painting, I always reach a point where I have to accept that the picture that is currently being created is not identical to my idea. For me, that is the most difficult point, accepting that the picture develops differently, that it claims a stubborn independence.


Is there a particular theme or message you want to convey in your work?

A recurring motif for me is the momentary; I prefer to depict very casual, almost banal themes so that they are not forgotten.



What has been the biggest challenge on your artistic journey so far and how did you deal with it?

I found it very challenging to develop my artistic independence. It took years and was very difficult, but now I no longer use other artists as a benchmark or comparison. I have found a place for myself, or to put it another way: I have made some space for myself.


Are there any techniques and materials that you prefer?

I work most often with acrylic paints; the short drying time allows me to work quickly, which I like. When choosing materials, I tend to use canvas and occasionally old fabric or wood, surfaces that already have their own history.


Is there a particular place where you prefer to work?

I prefer to work in my studio. It's a pretty small room and uncomfortably cold in winter, but I always feel most comfortable there.


Where do you see yourself and your art in the next five years?

I have a lot of confidence in my painting, in every aspect. My work often has a retrospective quality; the times we live in are changeable and sometimes sinister, but nonetheless: I look forward to my future, to every picture that will emerge, to every person I will meet in the process, to every moment that promises new inspiration.


Do you have a "philosophy" that guides your creative expression?

My painting has no spiritual approach, my pictures are rather the sum of my thoughts, feelings and experiences.
