»The mix of figurative imagery and painterly abstraction is a key part of my artistic work. I use vibrant, organic, and fluid colors and forms as the foundation of my visual style. Right now, I'm focused on object art and installations, which lets me explore sculpture in different ways, including working with glass. The materials I use and how I arrange them in space are very important in my work, shaping the story and experience of each piece. While I love painting on different surfaces, I also enjoy other methods like collage, printmaking, drawing, and writing.«
Vahdeta Tahirović, born and raised 1997 in Graz, Austria as first generation of Bosnian migrants. Works and lives in Halle (Saale) and Leipzig, Germany.
