Xenia Mura Fink

Drawing is the basis of my practice, manifesting in works on paper, installations, and animation. I quote from our visual culture and gestures as clues to depict that which develops beyond the format. Since 2019, I have been researching feminisms and figuration, being passionate about both topics, even if they may seem difficult to bridge.
I studied visual arts in Berlin and illustration in Hamburg and Halle, where I have been teaching.

Year of birth: 1979
Country of residence: Germany
