1. Name, age, you were born in, you live in? Any saying, motto, belief, or

artistic theory, anything you've read or seen that would you like to share?

My name is Ingrid Sawadsky, I am 31 years old and living with my little family in

a small town in Detmold, Germany. Music plays an important role in my life.

„I find you can be nothing if its nothing you believe in and the

consequences of half truths are deceiving“

(Lyrik from the album In Exile by Michael Patrick Kelly)

2. Tell us your story, how did you come to painting?

Since i can think I scribble on it everywhere, on my hands, feather folder, the

wall in my room. I was crazy about comics an copying the figures most of the

time. After school i was open to many creative areas, especial for photography.

So i decided to trained a a media designer to work independently afterwords. At

the time I always painted. After I had to give up my self-employment for

personal reasons the art became even bigger. Creating something with my

body is heaven on earth for me and I donʼt want to do anything else.

3. What are your motivation forces for painting?

I love this question. They are actually forces that work. I am very sensitive and

feel very strong. Particularly the emotions of people. Often I donʼt know where

a certain feeling comes from an it torments me. So I paint feelings and let go.

My paintings are an expression of the experience with the longing to create a

connection between body, soul and mind. Music plays an important role,

so my paintings often bear the name of a certain song.

4. What can you tell us about your studio, what kind of place is it?

It is a place with two poles. First is is a sacred space in wich my soul can rest

and I no longer have a sense of time. But also a place where I can fight my

personal battles. Sometimes I win and sometimes I loose.

5. What is art for you?

A school of life where I learn to understand me even more.

Stopping life to go deep and make this moment become eternal.
