FLORINE IMO

BIOGRAPHY

Florine Imo is an Austria based artist, currently working and studying in the Academy of fine Arts, Vienna. Florine’s paintings are evolving around her figures, which she sees as part of herself, but also as actors, playing out different life scenarios. The Artist works on canvas as well as on paper, using mainly soft pastels, acrylics and oil color. Imo’s paintings fluctuate between euphoric party scenes, playful, stereotypical representations of females and secretive meetings which the viewer just stumbled upon and interrupted. Her work creates a universe where women turn into mischievous, secretive, imperfect goddesses and start to live a life of their own. It’s as her figures exist already out of our perception and decide to show up in Florines paintings from time to time. The artist sees her figures as independent beings, caring for each other, working together and building up their own cosmos.
