Ramona Welsh is a very shy and sensitive artist. She shared with us her animation film Adam und Eva and the film called Paradies, which is the second part, filmed with actors and dancers. Both projections are very beautiful and touching.
These films can be viewed again during the open studios, please check the program.
She was born in Berlin Mitte and her father was a film producer and director in the DDR. She grew up with cameras and actors around her and made her first film at the age of 16 with a Super 8 camera.
She went to New York in 1995 for a year to study Film making, thanks to a scholarship, that she recieved.
She has a great talent for drawings and her line is fresh and light. The characters she creates are simple and almost seem to be drawn with one single line. In her process of creating, she draws first these characters to help her build up the stories she constructs, and then films.
She likes to explore universal themes , such as love, motherhood and also biblical images, that belong to our common occidental memory.
Her work is very impressive because you almost feel that it could have been done by a child. It give the illusion that it is all very simple, and that is always a true sign for pure talent.
The feeling left after viewing is soft and lingers on, you feel like seeing them again and again.
