Art is communication

Pia Fries' exhibition came to an end in March 2024 with an exciting round of talks. Maria-Anna Meßner-Haidenthaler from the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum conducted the discussion with the artist and Rafael Jablonka. "Basically, I want to paint a good picture", Pia Fries summed up her working method in a simple way. She then went on to explain what is important to her when painting. Colors, lines, but also the support of the picture are essential elements of the creative process for Fries. The support, in this particular case the wood, also paints, "it has a say," says the artist. In our photo, she can be seen with her husband, the artist Hans Brändli, and Rafael Jablonka.
