Julia Himmelhuber’s work, which she made for the #Artpost project on Instagram, is a pencil drawing. And it is the answer to the question from co-award winner Ann-Kathrin Müller what her ways are these days. The pencil lines create shapes that Himmelhuber finds artistically interesting.
But at the moment she is not really big on the way, she limits again. “Where do you go big?” One way leads her to a school in Nuremberg, where she works as an art teacher. She admits that teaching during pandemic times is a particular challenge. Julia Himmelhuber also talks about the creativity that has come about through homeschooling, and says that she made salt dough with sixth graders and architectural models with the older ones using a 3D program. She describes her own art in a field between painting and object, whereby the questions about the presentation are very important to her.
Her latest works are plaster of paris combined with painting. Basically, she used many different materials because she found it very exciting how they react with one another. Just as exciting for her is the question of what painting can be.
