Louise Deininger (ESKFF at Mana Contemporary)

As an African conceptual artist, author and life coach, my artwork focuses on consciousness, spiritual science, human, self and personal development, self-leadership, critical thinking and identity: including other multidisciplinary subjects. My work explores how we humans relate to the world around us, our connection to the universe, and what interventions we can take in our environment in order to live in harmony, within and without. Presenting subjects as variable as the effects of armed conflict, and self-leadership my work renders familiar visual signs, and I use different materials through the media of painting in a stylized form, FOTO collage, sculpting, film and performance. I also use installations that are conceptually built using different materials and forms. As a result, my work which is mainly experiential and research based, new ideas arise, which lead to the next production of art work.
