The artwork "Empowerment", is from C.N.'s collection Pirouettes"
The "pirouette" is a term from the world of dancing and describes a centered, single or multiple rotation around your own body axis, usually on one leg. Christian Nienhaus's works describe the world in which he moves and reflect his thoughts photo-realistically on the canvas. The extremely precise and extremely elaborately painted pictures made of acrylic, varnish and mixed media show a hyper-real image of a world that alienates reality. Christian Nienhaus draws inspiration and the characteristic reason and drive of his entire work from influences from people, nature, technology and literature. Stories emerge in which these phases of sensation manifest themselves and are reflected in his works through transparent layers in order to make the viewer more and more accessible to the viewer at times. The recurring questioning of his thoughts and the destruction of individual layers shows the wild and creative spirit of the artist.
