About Michael Ehni

### Michael Ehni – Between Art History and the Present

My paintings connect the visual language of past eras with the themes and perspectives of contemporary life. Working primarily in acrylic on canvas, I combine realism, art-historical references and contemporary interpretation.

In my **RE:MASTER** series, I revisit familiar motifs from art history and place them in a new context. Rather than simply reproducing the originals, I develop my own artistic interpretations of their imagery, symbolism and relevance to the present day.

My work invites viewers to look at familiar subjects from a different perspective and discover unexpected connections between the past and the present.
