SANDRA TIRRE
© Valeria Mitelman 2022
Sandra Tirre`s artistic practise combines painting, performance and self-reflection in an alchemical fusion that explores themes of sensuality, body, growth, birth and motherhood. Coming from an acting backround, she chooses a physical and emotional approach to painting. Her works are created in an improvosational process that not only accepts the unfinished and imperfect, but consciously celebrates it. The creative process is documented through photographs and videos that capture the work up close and authentically. She recently took part in the residency `Painting like Mamas`in Texas, US, where she dealt with the challenge of finding enough space for the creative process as a young mother and integrating her two-year-old daughter into it.
After her studies in the field of Psychology and Linguistics (2006-2012, WWU Muenster and FU Berlin) she worked as consultant for several years and experienced all kinds of working environments and people. Looking for a different way of expression she studied acting in privat studios in Berlin (2016-2020, Actors Space, Rotcoaching, Tankstelle) and works as an actress and performer. Among other things her work on her own permeability led her to painting. Since then she is developting her painting practise as autodidact and with artist mentors.
Since 2014 she is deepening her spiritual roots in bodywork and energetic work (Ishta Yoga Berlin I Tian Tao Yoga I Completion Process) which is the baseline and also the goal for her artwork: finding out more, connecting deeper.
