Synopsis
Irmtraud Fischer explores biblical forests in art through scenes like Eden, Susanna in the bath, and Hagar in the wilderness. The forest is portrayed as an ambivalent space: a symbol of life, knowledge, and shelter, but also of separation, danger, and loss. In painting, it serves as a backdrop that deepens the emotional resonance of biblical narratives. The forest represents nature, spirituality, and human boundaries—a place between threat and hope.
