Art, in its all due greatness, is a perfect way to convey a message to a significantly larger audience. While the world has witnessed some of the best artists leverage storytelling through artwork, artists are still experimenting with that.
Among some experts, we have German Artist Steffi Rodigas. She commenced her journey as a full-time artist in 2017 and has achieved tremendous recognition for her work.
She perceived the art of storytelling, depicting the painful image of society in her brilliant artwork. Some of her popular works that mirror world events include:
This stunning portrait features the harsh realities of today’s society with subtlety and grace. The subject seems lost in technology in place of enjoying the breathtaking views of mountains and green landscapes. Only if the subject explores nature’s beauty can they find peace and joy in life.
Steffi highlights the impact of social media on youth in this painting. Research proves that young adults on social media are 3X more likely to suffer from depression, and this masterpiece achieves a similar effect.
Die Welt in Flammen — The World on Fire
This masterpiece is Steffi’s take on World War II when the world was blazing in fire.
During this time, the bombing of Warsaw, Operation Meetinghouse, the Nazi occupation of Paris, and many such gut-wrenching events led to widespread atrocities. The Earth shed nothing but tears and blood during this time, making it impossible to put feelings into words.
Vogel in Gefahr — Bird in Danger
As the name suggests, this painting honors the beautiful flying creatures. More than 683 bird species are approaching extinction. Yes, you read that right! These mesmerizing creatures are on the verge of extinction.
Steffi presents this concern in her painting, highlighting the urgency to take measures that can protect these birds.
The artwork is no less than a masterpiece with bright colors brush-stoked to perfection. The picturization of various birds is impeccable, yet it has a painful story to share with the audience.
Mensch und Tier — Humans and Animals
It is a 3D representation of the adverse effects of human activities on animals. This artwork depicts wildlife in danger as a giant human footstep on a tree trunk. Here, the tree trunk represents the habitat of wildlife. Due to the ruthless cutting down of trees, many wildlife species are on the verge of extinction.
Not just that, this deforestation is also leading to climate change, starvation, wildfires, and increased risk of predation, increasing challenges for these animals.
This masterpiece adds another dimension to Steffi’s art career as she brilliantly showcases skills in wood crafting.
