A heart can be seen. In this heart are Kaddi's hands, which just smudge paint on an illuminated background. She alludes with this image to the sensual connection between herself and colour.

Do not disturb my circles 

Artist: Kaddi

Model: Lucie Wilke

"In this artwork, I combine photography and painting.

I portray my good friend Lucie, who possesses the quality of unwavering determination. Her striking red artistic face paint and the circles that I boldly painted by hand onto the printed photograph emphasise Lucie's focused, strong gaze.
This image represents a rebellion against rigid rules imposed on women or so-called female bodies.
We reject rules that dictate how we should visually appear or whether we should wear our hair long, styled, or hidden. We resist norms that silently pressure us not to be verbally proud of our achievements. We were told to smile, to care, to be considerate and friendly. Instead of serving comfort, we are passionate, educated, unrestrained, and ambitious. When we work and love, we do so with burning intensity. No longer restricted, women emerge. Clear, expressive, visible, and demanding what is rightfully ours. The intense gaze of Lucie and the deliberate breaking of the ordinary photo with thick black pen urges the viewer to acknowledge this demand without resistance." - Kaddi

The Calm


Bodypaint Artist: Kaddi

Performance Artist: Ben Kopfnagel 

Photographer: Kaddi


Ben Kopfnagel, musician and drummer, and Kaddi, painter and bodypainter, combine their art to explore the nature of tranquillity, calm and rest.

In a world full of noise and seemingly incessant unrest, their work celebrates the power of pause, the breath before a reaction, the silence between sounds that brings rythm to life.

Calm, both inner and outer, is understood as a source of strength that can be actively brought about.

'The Calm' is a gentle declaration of radical love for the pause.

Ben Kopfnagel is a German musician who is currently based in Berlin. He is the drummer of the band Klangphonics.

Club Paintings

Artist: Kaddi

"Bodypainting is a special form of connection and interaction between the self and the other person. In addition to relaxation and conversation, these interactions also enable joint action, compassion and coordination. I am in a symbiosis with my clients during the act of bodypainting." - Kaddi
