"[...] I don't know much about art. I can't say what makes a good painting - painting techniques, brushwork, all that is foreign to me, and I wouldn't presume to interpret or classify a painting in terms of art history. But honestly, none of that really interests me either. [.] I know that pictures, sentences and songs can widen the world by narrowing it. By overwhelming us viewers, listeners and readers, by taking us to a point inside ourselves, and there awakening a feeling that reaches far beyond the moment [.]. They can trigger longing, sadness, fear, joy and melancholy. A picture that succeeds in doing that is a good picture, I think. Miriam Vlaming has painted several such pictures. Pictures that give shape to longing, to melancholy. Melancholy has nothing to do with depression or misery, melancholy is a special form of happiness. In Miriam Vlaming's paintings you can find this happiness." Jörg Böckem

Miriam Vlaming

In Miriam Vlaming's large-scale paintings in egg tempera, the painter breaks down the boundaries between man and nature as well as past and reality. She creates a harmonious symbiosis between these supposed opposites through hazy layers created by the application and removal of paint. In doing so, she allows the depicted figures to emerge from a natural, dreamlike environment. Through this aesthetic, Vlaming opens the viewer's eyes to the multifaceted aspects and philosophical questions of being human, which she addresses in her paintings. Miriam Vlaming always has the overall picture in mind in her mysterious pictorial worlds. She plays with ambiguous metaphors. “Disruptions and contradictions interest me ... the moment after or before something has happened...not the history." Her egg tempera paintings satisfy a deep human need for knowledge. The important member of the New Leipzig School studied at times with Neo Rauch. She was a master’s student under the direction of Arno Rink and is represented in numerous public and private collections.
