ONE OF A KIND …

I see each of my artworks as a unicum. Combining freestyle painting with the particular characteristics of textile structures fascinates me. Man and nature in the context of historical and social developments are the inspiration for my works. Complex subject matter and multi-faceted work processes take time and experience, and require peace and intellectual freedom to thrive…

“The artist creates her artful paintings using a wide variety techniques on and with fine silk velvet.
The resulting artworks are three-dimensionally structured paintings, with many facets that shimmer as the light strikes them. ‘Using this method, I am able to achieve novel and exciting effects with my images,’ says Bäck, who calls her particular technique ‘velvet painting’.”

VITA

Lisa Bäck: Born in 1964, Bäck lives and works as a freelance artist in Wiener Neustadt, Lower Austria. Daughter Hanna born in 1988, son Lukas born in 1993.

Since 1986 she has devoted herself to techniques of artistic expression, primarily in painting in combination with the special characteristics of textile structures, and developed her “velvet painting” technique. She does organizational work for cultural programs.

The versatile artist has a masterful understanding of how to coalesce painting with the special characteristics of textile structures. Her works are expressive and at the same time sensitive. Lisa Bäck’s development of a new style of artistic language bears her unmistakable hallmark.
