In this video interview – recorded during the exhibition at the Bad Godesberg Art Association’s “Glaskarree” – Viktoria Salma offers a glimpse into the personal and philosophical themes behind her work. She reflects on the concept of self-portraits as a mirror to human nature, encouraging viewers to consider what is revealed when we truly confront ourselves.
Among her featured pieces are portraits inspired by her two cats, which Salma describes as profound observers of human emotion and behavior. She explains that pets often act as silent mirrors, reflecting the emotional nuances of their human companions. By incorporating these intimate portrayals into her art, Salma creates a dialogue between personal identity and the natural world.
Though brief, the video provides a thoughtful look at Salma’s artistic approach, shedding light on the deeply introspective and symbolic nature of her work.
