The transformation of a fragmentary existence and a multiple identity structure into the visual is tailor-made for the protagonists of Ursula Hübner. The room is the psyche of the characters, it refers to the interior decoration in a figurative sense. The subtlety of thoughts and feelings that are invisible to the eyes suddenly become visible.

Hübner creates pictorial spaces and stage spaces from an interplay of “actor”, objects and colors (Dear Darkness, Angels at the Abyss, Dressed Silence, Private Sphere, The World of Interiors, Outide, Golden Nature, Afterglow).

The combination of photography and painting forms a symbiosis in the artist's paintings. Photo fragments are integrated into the painting as colored surfaces, resulting in a painterly whole. By assembling cut-up photographs, which are supplemented with brushstrokes, mythical creatures emerge - hybrids of humans and animals, plants or objects. It is this alchemical combination of different ingredients that enables the pictures to express more than pure painting or mere photography can.
