Corinna Mayer

Timetravellers staying together

In *The Timetravellers staying together*, Corinna Mayer merges various layers of time and reality. The figures depicted appear to have emerged from a bygone era—the Renaissance. Seated close together and partially unclothed, they exude an air of both intimacy and mystery. A young man hands a vessel to a young woman—but what does it contain? A love potion or blood? The meaning remains deliberately open, inviting viewers to form their own interpretations. Another figure in the foreground could be seen as the scene’s narrator. Perhaps he is recalling the events, or perhaps the scene is unfolding solely within his imagination. The work’s poetic, associative nature opens up an additional layer of reality. This self-contained group evokes the tales of *One Thousand and One Nights*, where storytelling creates a sanctuary from the outside world. At the same time, the work alludes to the unique experience of closeness and isolation during a pandemic. Past and present, memory and imagination, reality and fiction converge within a warm, atmospheric visual world. *The Timetravellers staying together* invites the viewer to continue the story behind the figures and to fill the image’s unanswered questions with their own imaginings. The work makes an exceptional addition to a sophisticated collection, enriching a contemporary art portfolio with its poetic ambiguity. As an earlier piece by Corinna Mayer, it also holds interesting potential for appreciation in value for collectors of contemporary art.

Flowerpower

The viewer is drawn into the heart of the flower—an experience that feels as threatening as it is beautiful. The flower is of an exotic and unusual variety. The image radiates a zest for life and invites the viewer to dream. She painted this orchid blossom using rich colors and a sensual application of paint, blending elements of Expressionism, Pop Art, and realism. Working with oil paint allows me to create a vibrant texture; the bold contrasts and intense colors invite a journey of visual discovery. In "Flowerpower," Corinna Mayer draws the viewer directly into the mysterious interior of an exotic blossom. The orchid’s unusual shape and intense colors create an effect that is at once sensual and subtly enigmatic. What initially appears to be a vision of beauty and vitality may, upon closer inspection, harbor an element of the unknown—or even the menacing. Through rich colors and expressive brushwork, Corinna Mayer fuses elements of Expressionism, Pop Art, and realism. The vibrant texture of the oil paint, combined with bold contrasts and intense hues, gives the blossom a powerful presence, making it appear to emerge physically from the canvas. "Flowerpower" invites a journey of visual discovery while opening up a space for imagination and dreams. The flower becomes a symbol not only of beauty and vital energy but also of the ambivalence between the familiar and the alien, attraction and mystery. This work serves as a striking, distinctive addition to a discerning collection and enriches any contemporary art portfolio. As an original piece by Corinna Mayer, "Flowerpower" also offers interesting potential for appreciation in value for collectors of contemporary art.

On the Way to the Mars

At the heart of "On the Way to Mars" are the portraits of two female friends standing close together, gazing in the same direction. They are situated inside an imaginary spaceship, surrounded by glowing buttons, shimmering structures, and abstract technical elements. In this work, Corinna Mayer combines portraiture, figuration, surrealism, and symbolism. The technical environment serves as a metaphor for the human inner world. Human and machine, organic beauty and technical complexity merge to create a compelling visual realm. Closeness, connection, and the journey into an unknown future form further central themes of the painting. "On the Way to Mars" exemplifies Corinna Mayer’s exploration of the relationship between humanity and technology, fitting seamlessly into her contemporary artistic universe. The work makes an exceptional addition to a discerning collection and enriches any art portfolio with its distinctive visual language. As an original piece by an artist active since 1997—with a long track record of national and international exhibitions—the painting also offers interesting potential for appreciation in value for collectors of contemporary art. The painting has been exhibited at venues including the Kunsthalle Darmstadt (solo exhibition *Studio West: Im Herzzentrum der Maschine*, June 26 – August 23, 2025).
