plant

Zindel's work consists of groups of drawings, paintings, graphic portfolios or installations with defined content. The titles of these groups of works are heavy with meaning: “The House of Unrest”, “The Cloth of Veronica”, “Scott's Journey to the South Pole”, “Cuts like a knife”, “The Conquest of the Night”, “Tears of Eros”, “Mary Afternoon "(1985)," The dying god "(1985–1986)," REM "," The gesture of love "(1994) or" Open tattoo "(1994–1995). It's about the reality behind the physical surface and the visualization of psychological sensitivities. The human being is at the center of these not euphemistic, rather aggressive works.
