Madlena Kaindel

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Drawing & Printmaking)

Through my art practice I explore ideas of memory, connection and comfort. I document my navigation of the relationship between childhood and womanhood, understanding what it means to be a woman yet still holding onto my childhood, searching for where the two overlap.

Using oil paints, I explore my love for the naive and cartoonish, allowing the viewer to be immersed in comforting dreamlike compositions and a colour palette primarily made up of pinks, purples and blues. Motifs are repeated; a common theme of flowers and children’s cartoon characters link to my Austrian heritage. The aim of my work is to invite viewers to connect with their own experiences.
