LOVE & DISORDER
Viola Winokan’s drawings move between image, language, and inner dialogue. Executed in pastel and charcoal, they often resemble oversized book covers: bold color fields carrying handwritten text that mimics the authority of print. The phrases are rooted in deep thinking, humor, and psychology.
The language is concise, ironic, and deliberately open-ended, allowing meaning to emerge between the words and the viewer. The statements feel personal yet are widely recognisable. The series painted with coffee pigment reflects on coffee culture as ritual and encounter. The artist combines coffee drawings with her own photographs, embedding everyday connection into image and material.
Book drawings can be commissioned in a selected color and size.
Workshops in drawing with coffee are offered upon request.
