About Patricia Frida
Patricia Frida Eichwalder (artist's name: Patricia Frida) grew up in Carinthia, Austria. The inspiration for her artwork motifs originates from her training as a make-up artist. In 1991, the artist travelled to Asia and spent 4 years in Tokyo, where she learned the art of photography. Until the year 1998, she travelled around the world: New York, Barcelona and London. Today Patricia Frida lives and works in Paris.
The basis of her work is photography, which she sometimes develops in the darkroom or prints on watercolour paper. Then the motif is transferred onto canvas and finished with various materials such as oil paints, acrylics, pigments, watercolours and different papers (such as newspapers or old originals that she finds at flea markets and antique shops).
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
