I was allowed to accompany my older sister, Manuela Eibensteiner, to her exhibition in Venice.
Due to many experiences and statements from other people – that I couldn't do this or that – I believed for a long time that I couldn't paint. And yet, it always brought me great joy in the quiet of my own room.
What happened in the gallery in Venice is almost impossible to put into words.
I dared to show my sister my newly created lion power image and ask her what she thought of it.
I saw pure joy in her eyes.
That gave me the courage to show my picture to the gallery director – rather cheekily and without great expectations.
Oh my God... he was impressed too.
Incredulous, I asked him if he was serious and if he really liked my work.
He affirmed again – and urged me to continue, to create even more works and even to think about my own exhibition.
At that moment, I was completely overwhelmed. How was I supposed to manage that time-wise?
But what followed from that point on – from September 2025 to the present day – is pure energy.
I have created a great many works by now. I can't explain where this energy and time come from. It fills me with deep joy, and I am inspired anew every day. If I run out of canvases at home, I immediately buy a new one.
I also sincerely thank my husband, who always lovingly and actively supports me.
I am especially happy to have my daughter by my side as marketing support. It fills me with great joy that I have been able to inspire and motivate her to become creative herself and create her own works.
Here is a small excerpt.
