Description

In this work from 1997, Heinz Möseneder takes up the profound themes of illness, healing, medicine and the border area between life and death. With his unique mixed media technique on handmade paper, the artist creates an emotional depiction of an operation scene. The abstract shapes and colours in shades of red and green reflect the intensity and drama of a medical procedure. The central figure appears embedded in an environment that symbolises both healing and fragility. The textures and craftsmanship of the paper add an extra layer of vulnerability and depth to the image. This work is a tribute to the power of medicine and the fragility of human life, captured in a moment of existential tension.
