Biography

Veronika Hilger’s paintings are located in an intermediate realm: between genres, classifications, and abstraction. They address classical subjects such as interiors, landscapes, still life and portraits. She does not separate these genres clearly from each other but rather fuses them into independent pictorial worlds of biomorphic forms that can be read as parables about the human relationship to nature and about the relationship of humans to each other. Ultimately, the oscillation, the as-well-as, and the in-between are what’s interesting to the artist. She explores fundamental questions about the nature and meaning of painting in its formal, technical and conceptual realization by arranging, shifting, layering and changing the pictorial elements in a spontaneous yet careful painting process.
