In her series ‘Intertwined Paths’, Kerstin Arnold explores in depth the multi-layered dimensions of human relationships in today's society. Her works portray women in various situations of encounter - from quiet moments of self-reflection to intense interactions characterised by joy as well as conflicts and misunderstandings.
Through the combination of expressive, realistic depictions and vivid colours, Arnold succeeds in making visible the emotional nuances that resonate between the figures. Each painting tells individual life stories and subtly reflects how complex and ambivalent modern interpersonal relationships can be.
The series also addresses current social challenges: the influence of social media, which often suggests closeness but at the same time creates distance, as well as the pressure to fulfil social expectations and role models.
"Intertwined Paths" impressively reveals how essential connection and mutual support are and what strength lies in authentic human relationships. Kerstin Arnold's pictures remind us of the importance of genuine encounters and the deep strength that lies in shared reflection and honest communication.
