BrainGate Diva – Grenzen überwinden durch Kunst und Technologie

"BrainGate Diva" ist ein außergewöhnliches Werk von Dr. Magdalena Laabs, das nicht nur ästhetisch beeindruckt, sondern auch zu tiefen Reflexionen über die Rolle der Technologie in unserem Leben anregt. Inspiriert von ihrer kindlichen Faszination für das Mesozoikum und den Tyrannosaurus rex, entführt uns Dr. Laabs in eine surreale Welt, in der sich Technologie und Natur vereinen.

Symbolik und Surrealismus
Auf dem Bild sehen wir eine Frau, die auf einem grünen Sessel sitzt und deren Hände mit drei Fingern enden, was auf den Tyrannosaurus rex anspielt. Das ausdrucksstarke Gesicht mit blauen Lidschatten und roten Lippen verleiht ihrer Figur Dramatik und Theatralik. Dieses surreale Element erinnert an mythische Kreaturen und fremdartige Lebensformen und schafft eine Atmosphäre voller Magie und Geheimnis.

Technologie und Menschlichkeit
"BrainGate" symbolisiert die fortschrittliche Technologie der Gehirn-Computer-Schnittstellen und deutet auf die Verbindung des menschlichen Geistes mit Maschinen hin. Die auf dem Bild dargestellte Figur, die als "Diva" bezeichnet wird, wird in Bezug auf Individualismus und den Kampf gegen Überwachung zur Ikone. Der Name "BrainGate Diva" weist auf den Protest gegen den Verlust der Privatsphäre in einer zunehmend von Technologie kontrollierten Welt hin.

Botschaft und Protest
Das Bild ist ein Ausdruck des Widerstands gegen die Idee der Chip-Implantate und der totalen Überwachung. Dr. Laabs nutzt ihre Kunst, um auf die Bedeutung des Individualismus und des Rechts auf Privatsphäre aufmerksam zu machen. Die von intensiven Farben und surrealen Elementen umgebene Frauenfigur symbolisiert den ständigen Kampf um persönliche Freiheit und Selbstentfaltung.

Ästhetik und Details
Der grüne Sessel symbolisiert Komfort und Stabilität, die rosa gepunkteten Kissen fügen ein surrealistisches Element hinzu, und die blauen Vorhänge schaffen Tiefe und einen Farbkontrast. Intensive Farben und ausdrucksstarke Linien betonen den modernen, expressiven Stil des Bildes, der perfekt zur Serie "Groteske: Die Kraft des Individualismus" passt.

Zusammenfassung
"BrainGate Diva" ist ein faszinierendes Werk, das zum Nachdenken über zeitgenössische soziale und technologische Normen anregt. Die dargestellte Figur strahlt innere Stärke und Entschlossenheit aus und erinnert an den Wert der persönlichen Freiheit und die Notwendigkeit, sie in einer Welt voller technologischer Herausforderungen zu schützen.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

About Me - Dr. Magdalena Laabs

EARLY INSPIRATIONS

From my earliest years, thanks to my father, Ryszard, who was an art lover, I had close contact with the beauty of painting. The family home, where oil paintings always hung on the walls, and the walls were adorned with my father's paintings, became my first gallery. Memories of my father painting patterns on the living room walls, and fairy-tale characters on the walls of the children's room, introduced me to the world of fantasy and color, shaping my early experiences with art.

ARTISTIC AND PROFESSIONAL PATH

My professional path, although associated with industrial engineering and various manufacturing enterprises, never separated me from my love of art. It has become an integral part of my life, allowing me to express emotions through paintings and continually seek inspiration in museums, art galleries, and at vernissages. I strive to instill a love of art in my daughters, Victoria and Alexandra.

TRAVEL AND CREATIVITY

My journey into the world of painting took on real meaning in 2013, when my life underwent a transformation. Visiting over 35 countries, I learned painting, drew inspiration from various painting styles, which reflected in my work. Experiencing 6 weeks in South America, as well as travels to countries such as Peru, Chile, Ecuador, Cuba, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Russia, United States, China, and Hong Kong, broadened my artistic horizons.

DIGITAL ART AND INSPIRATIONS

Some of my work is created in the form of digital graphics, which allows me to quickly record new ideas. I also take a lot of photographs to capture certain significant moments and interesting motifs.

When it comes to painting, I am fascinated by the works of old masters such as Van Gogh, Renoir, Vermeer, Monet, and Menzel, but I draw just as much from modern art, as evidenced by my visits to places like the Museum of Modern Art in New York or Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, and many others.
