MIRKA WALTER

Mirka Walter is a visual artist and illustrator from Cologne, Germany. It was here where Mirka got first in touch with surrealism, as the painter Max Ernst was born in Brühl a small town next to Cologne.

But was especially has been influencing Mirka’s work and worldview is the work by feminist surrealists such as Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington. A love that is connected to Mexico, an entirely surrealist country, where the artist lived for two years.

Mirka tries to capture the beauty, banality and brutality of the everyday, the human body in motion as well as a fantastic representation of the natural world.

Her favorite materials are watercolor and ink in all its expressions. She also holds a great love for papercut artwork.
