About
cornelia es said was born in Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany and is living in Berlin.
At the age of 2 years she was adopted by a workers couple in southern Germany. From the simple middle-class conditions resulted a typical women’s occupation: geriatric nurse. The work-related confrontation with life, suffering and death empowered her empathy, and the diversity of life-plans enhanced her vision. In the course of the fall of the Berlin Wall she joined the squatters in East-Berlin. The creative freedom and artistic exchange of this extraordinary period continues to reverberate to the present day.
In her paintings she experiments with the transfer of internal and external boundaries. Her work focusses on a radically social approach that manifests in the representation of archetypal body landscapes. From her anarchic conviction she deals with the organic process of painting and explores the medium from the coarse to the precise, from disturbing to aesthetic.
