Life

Sandra Kolondam is the legitimate daughter of Ingeborg Hofbauer from Munich and Robert Kolondam from Indonesia. She grew up with her parents, brother, maternal grandparents and her mother's brothers in the former Harthof working-class district of Munich .

She attended the Willy Brandt Comprehensive School in Munich and then completed part-time studies as an insurance specialist with a focus on marketing . She worked for several years in the marketing department of a Munich insurance company, where she was most recently marketing manager in the public service target group area .

Work and reception

The focus of her work as an artist is painting . In addition, she works as a draftsman and deals with artistic printmaking such as wood and linocut .

As a painter, Sandra Kolondam began to work self-taught in 1999. In 2011 she took private lessons from the painter Klaus Soppe for two years to improve her manual skills . Finally, she closed in 2016 after two years of study at the Academy of Fine Arts at the old mill at Markus Lüpertz the diploma course painting and drawing from. From 2015 to 2016 she was also a master class student of the painter Rosa Loy at the Bad Reichenhall Art Academy .

With regard to her work, Kolondam prefers to describe herself as a painter rather than an artist. The aim for her is to transport poetry and emotion in a classic way through painting. The painters of classical modernism act as role models for Kolondam, such as B. Paula Modersohn-Becker and Gabriele Münter . With this in mind, she is always aware of her privileged position as a painter today to be able to work under far less adverse circumstances.

In painting, the artist has so far concentrated on painting in oil on canvas. Without signing, she applies the colors to the canvas during the creative process. In terms of technique, she alternates between almost glazing and painting over. The finished compositions, which may be based on miniature sketches, have usually only been created while painting.

"Oneironauts"

In the series Oneironauts Sandra Kolondam created, after an intense period of hyper-realistic representation, large-format paintings in which they adhere to the visualization of lucid dreaming tried. Above all, the worlds of color, personnel and proportions with regard to the compiled motifs come from surreal imaginations.

landscape

After the Oneironauts series , Sandra Kolondam turned to landscape painting. Since then, the artist has mainly been depicting the area around her residence in the Bavarian region around Lake Starnberg . So far, a bird's-eye view from above or landscape details in muted, warm colors, sometimes applied in geometric surfaces, have prevailed. The artist plays subtly with color perspective, spatial perception and effects created by contrasting colors.
