With a keen sense of colour, expression and composition, the artist portrays women in traditional Black Forest festive attire. The works build a bridge between tradition and the present, between regional identity and individual interpretation. The series invites viewers to rediscover the cultural identity of the Black Forest through the lens of contemporary portrait painting, while highlighting the enduring relevance of traditional motifs in contemporary art.

About Petra Girschewski
Petra Girschewski's painting is a reflection of emotions, moods, and experiences. Particularly, small gestures and expressive glances are at the centre of her works. Her goal: to touch without words.
The artist lives and works in Vaihingen an der Enz near Stuttgart. Her artistic development was characterised through courses with renowned instructors such as Anton Petz, Jo Bukowski, Mila Veljac'a, and Thomas Heger. Experimenting with various sizes and painting surfaces, her art remains vibrant and full of expressiveness.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolour, drawing, lost-wax sculpture etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there are also 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 genre 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.
The historical starting point is considered to be Claude Monet's "Les Meules" (1890/1891), where, 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.
