Erna Mist. Cold War, 2021. Oil on canvas, 90 x 70 cm.
Every painting is a self-portrait; its goal self-realisation; its sources internal rather than external; its imagery indistinguishable from the artist’s state of mind. My revolution is primarily an individual one, a continuous pursuit of beauty and other means to shock myself into autonomy.
Imagination is the passport to a more liberated life.
