Was that the first big step on the road to success for an aspiring artist? Jemima-Aiko Tressl (16) was represented at the Artbox Expo, an art exhibition of Artbox.Projects, in April in New York with her picture “Twisted Hopes”.
With the picture (acrylic on linen), which shows a woman descending on a stairway to heaven as if from God, the artist with the special Jewish-Japanese first name wants to “warn against the manipulation of people, against people who die until death raise false hopes”.
Came to painting through writing
Tressl attended the lower grades of the BRG Ringstraße. “It was there that I discovered my love for art through the characters in the texts,” she says. In a writing competition, she was included in an anthology entitled The Sunken Library. Now the Steinerin attends the BORG Heinemannstraße and is supported there in the field of fine arts by her teacher Antonia Hinterreitner. “I feel very much at home in the acrylic technique,” Tressl has already orientated himself in painting and paints in the style of surrealism. “I like to address things directly in life and in my writing – that also projects into my pictures.”
Dream is to study art at the university
Now the high school student is dreaming of studying at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. “I would like to study art”, she knows that it is not easy to be accepted at the “Angewandte”. “They only take five students a year.” Anything is possible. This is shown by her success at Artbox Expo, where she submitted two works and is pleased that her name has gained a foothold on the international art scene for the first time with the selection of an image.
