ARTIST STATEMENT
Vanessa Wenwieser’s artwork centers on placing women at the heart of her creative vision, liberating them from the conventional male gaze and elevating the female perspective. In her art, women are portrayed as complex beings with intellect, emotions, and innate strength.
She employs figures and allusive storytelling to explore the divide between appearances and essence.
