Assunta Abdel Azim Mohamed
Assunta Abdel Azim Mohamed (* 1993 in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee ) is an Austrian visual artist . Her trademark is the ballpoint pen drawing of socio-cultural phenomena, but she also paints with other techniques such as felt pen or ink .
Life and education
After completing school, she first studied Romance Studies in her hometown in 2011/12 and then until 2017 at the University of Applied Arts with Jan Svenungsson in Vienna, graphics and printing. In 2015 she spent a semester abroad at the Accademia in Venice , which was funded with a scholarship.
plant
She belongs to the youngest generation of the Austrian art scene and deals with studies of human coexistence in her works. With the help of the ironic shift and numerous allusions to music, film, literature and art, she breaks numerous taboos . Assaults, painful injuries and erotic allusions are the order of the day in her pictures. The result is people whose stories seem ambiguous and unclear. The technology of their painting equipment, through which monochrome, very striking scenes are created, makes these mostly difficult topics airy and transparent and constantly challenges your own perception.
Exhibitions
In addition to numerous presentations, it has also won a number of prizes, has already been on eleven shortlists for art prizes and has found its way into some well-known collections.
