"Make the gray world colourful again."
Mara Weyel is a female and feminist artist from Germany. She studied graphic design at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences and completed a stay abroad (Communication Visuelle) in Paris. After short study visits to London, she had her first major solo exhibition at TIM (Staatliches Textilmuseum Augsburg) in autumn 2023, where she presented her works.
In her work, she often reflects on her own experiences and emotions and uses different media and techniques to convey her messages.
In her art, she creates interdisciplinary artworks that emerge from her inner self and the demands of the outside world. Her roots are in painting, but her artistic journey has taken her through performance, installation and sculpture. For her, the total work of art is of central importance, characterised by complexity and depth of content.
The expression of the body in the context of social norms is a central theme of her work. Mara Weyel deconstructs the body in order to create new forms of living environments and scrutinise its role in modern society. A recurring motif is the examination of physicality and the freedom of children, which she illuminates from a feminist perspective. Weyel scrutinises social expectations and norms and aims to encourage reflection with her art. She finds inspiration when travelling in the inner and outer world, where she finds proceeds.
