THE ARTIST:
PAINTINGS ON SAND:
Pictures on Sand represent themselves as “Earth Pictures”, as opposed to watercolours and other works on paper that are dedicated to the elements of water, air, light and colour.
This technique was developed by the artist in many years of experimental work with different processes and materials. Through time, sand, stone and other natural materials prevailed a more important role and independence in the picture. Representing elements disappeared more and more. In this sense, one could designate these pictures as Concrete Art. On the other hand, the symbolism of the materials used plays an important role and lends the reality of the picture`s surface a mysteriously encoded component which represents a challenge to the spectator's internal vision.
"Carola Eberle- Leskovar is like an archeologist of the soul. With much intuition, she pursues the traces of the past to the present and further into the future. She exposes archaic symbols, which are anchored in human beings since prehistoric times and transfers them like cryptographs into her work. In her work she sets the short period of life of the individual against the age of the rocks, sand and earth."
