Svenja Deininger views painting as a dynamic process, where her works evolve over time rather than existing as isolated entities. The creation of an image prompts reflection, with the future picture's spatial context being crucial to her artistic journey. She refines her art like a text, analyzing the interrelations of her pieces when they converge. By alternating large and small formats, she generates tension, contributing to her unique ‘Deiningerian idiom.’ The application and removal of various layers of primer and color create a sense of depth, with lines and forms appearing to shift between planes. Her meticulous process involves sanding and stripping dried paint before applying new layers, some opaque and others translucent. Many canvases retain blank sections, drawing attention to the canvas itself as a compositional tool, with its color and texture serving as design elements. A predominantly white palette contrasts delicate gradients with bold lines and shadows alongside vibrant color fields. The artist book designed by Deininger does not include reproductions of her paintings but features assorted photos, graphic drawings, cut-outs, and texts by Agatha Jastrzabek, arranged rhythmically to deepen the understanding of her work.
