Biography
Elisabeth Mauracher´s interpretation and confrontation with paintings had already started during her childhood: she enjoyed rummaging in the beautiful collection of art printings from her mother, in which she was especially fascinated by the colour-printings of Miró, Chagall and Klimt. They implemented a big effect on the young girl and a deep connection to colours and forms arose immediately.
As an adolescent she took the brush intending to go down her own paths from the beginning onwards. The interaction between different kinds of textile materials fascinated her already and she recognized at an early stage that painting appeared to be the best way to express personal emotions and experiences.
Elisabeth Mauracher has participated since 1980 in numerous exhibitions and she has continually learned new and different painting techniques: watercolour, acrylic, etching, collage etc.
