BIOGRAPHY
Waltraud Gemein was born in 1951, she lives and works in Germany.
During her studies in Göttingen she was a private student of the painter and sculptor Henry Hinsch (1909-1979).
The figures generated by the creative pen of Waltraud Gemein perfectly identify her production and stand as a manifesto of the sense of unity that exists between living beings, breaking down once and for all the now rooted classifications between the animal, human and vegetable world. Acording to the artist, sharing the same environment inevitably makes us similar, to the point that the caracteristics of each merge with the others, both conceptually and formally. Therefore, in the works of the german artist, it is possible to witness the birth of fantastic creatures, the result of the encounter between different worlds, enriched by a particularly compelling selections of colors; a chromatic assortment that reflects the infinite levels of beings, the great variety offered by Mother Nature and, in general, the richness of life.

STATEMENT
Overall, animals and humans are double living beings that share the planet Earth. While humans have developed advanced technology and communication skills, animals have their own unique abilities and adaptations. The relationship between animals and humans is complex and multifaceted, and it is important that we work to protect and preserve the natural world for both our sake and the sake of the animals we share the planet with.
