Petra (1980) is an intuitive artist. She dedicates her hands and her heart to create works of art of the body (mostly women), each with a different story to share. An art piece by Petra Flach is about sheer liberation and acceptance, for the audience and the muse alike. Petra loves to show sensual and curvy women with all their vulnerabilities, but even more to show their strength and elegance in pure beauty.
Petra created her first art piece at the age of seven, it was of her grandmother. Through the many travels she has made, Petra has become interested in classical sculpturing. She uses a mix of classical sculpting methods and modern techniques for her sculptures. Petra ;"I have found my way in this over the years. I combine classical sculpture methods with making casts of bodies or body parts. She adds things and leaves things out. "It is a process that naturally arises as I am working. I think in advance about which direction I want to go, but in practice I am guided by my feelings. To start with, I have to have good chemistry with the model, because you work enormously in each other's aura. I would like to be able to portray the model as the world sees her. That is not possible without magial chemistry."
Anyone watching or experiencing a sculpture by Petra Flach will notice that it itself evokes love and acceptance, but also appreciation for the impressively creative process of making these sculptures.
Petra picks her models meticulously. The process of creating a body sculpture is demanding and challenging. Petra also loves working with designers and architects, as well as other national and international artists to map and exhibit in unique locations about self-acceptance, beauty and (a little) more love and respect for yourself.
