Athena Vida

Athena Vida, birth name Gitte Schäfer, is a German artist. Working mainly in painting and drawing, her works often explore themes of identity, memory and the human condition.

Vida studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, Germany. Since then she has exhibited her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Germany and abroad.

Her paintings often feature complex, multi-layered compositions in which elements of abstraction and figuration are interwoven. She often incorporates text and symbols into her work, adding an extra layer of meaning.

Vida's drawings are more minimalist, often featuring simple, repetitive shapes and patterns.

Overall, Athena Vida's work is deep and complex, inviting viewers to engage with both the surface images and the deeper layers of meaning lurking beneath them.
