Stephanie Marie Roos

The core of my figurative work is the human as a cultural being with a focus on clothing and accessories. My figures embody the way I reflect on cultural phenomena: What does culture mean for us? Which narratives are standing behind? How are they developing? Why are they often emotionally charged? The currently growing uncertainness in a political sense and people getting more and more emotional in questions of belonging are having an impact on my narratives. My fascination for the robed figure was initialized in my childhood. Visiting the church with my grandparents, I saw the sculptures of Saints and I remember well the appeal of the perfectly built cloth in wood or stone. This fascination for the sculpture-especially the Medieval robe figure-never died. It is my European sculptural heritage and the reason for using colors and lustre. During the pandemic, parallel to my large figures, I started telling stories in miniatures as a way of capturing a scene quickly and strikingly. I call them my short stories. This storytelling is a bit more distant, and the smallness of things has its own magic.
