Untitled Belly

Ines Thora’s paintings are immediate extensions of her inner world, guided by intuition, emotion, and the physical act of making. Rejecting titles and explanations, her works remain open and universal, forming a personal visual language that communicates what words cannot: atmosphere, presence, and the meditative rhythm of painting itself. Hand and finger marks often remain visible, not as symbols but as traces of movement, energy, and lived process.

Curiosity shapes her practice. She frequently works on found and previously used fabrics such as old canvases, bed sheets, or tablecloths, materials that already carry intimacy and memory. Their histories merge with her own, turning each painting into a meeting point between past and present. Embracing chance, resistance, and loss of control, Ines builds up forms only to erase them again, allowing paint, fabric, and gesture to negotiate the final image. What remains is the silent tension between void and trace, struggle and stillness, where painting reflects only itself.
