Heidrun van Dörfjes

Heidrun is a visual artist. Her work is passionately feminine. 

She offers a figurative visual language that is both poetic and archetypal. Her works are silent references to something that defies literal expression. “In my work I strive to give a new femininity a fresh language, that is bold, free and reduced.“

Working across media she lets the work develop directly on the support, intuitively and experimentally. Working serially supports her endeavor to be independent of concepts and ideals. 

Heidrun draws inspiration from various sources, such as female mythology and folklore, art history and Mother Nature. The direct experience of nature and her experiences as a woman and mother are at the center of her artistic work. 

Portraits and self-portraits are a vital part of her artistic practice, in which working from life is quintessential.

Heidrun works in her studio, “Kunsthaus Dörfjes”, in the Eifel, Germany.
