In her paintings, Lea Hoffbauer cleverly plays with the properties of oil- and water-based painting media. Mixtures and layers of pigments, oils, minerals and inks create abstract images without a narrative.
The artist is particularly interested in macro- and microscopic phenomena from biology and anatomy that appear strangely beautiful and are beyond normal viewing habits.
