Description:

Born in Bucharest, Romania and moved to Munich in 1970, Ioanna Rheinfelder was a graphic designer who did woodblock work, wall painting, musical and theatrical activities.The artist spent some time in Cyprus pre-1974 and was a friend with the Cypriot painter Adamantios Diamantis. She was an ethnographer intrigued by the Cypriot culture and life and tried to adopt her work and her titles to reflect Cyprus. Problems must have tormented the artist who illustrates her condition with the personification of her soul ripped out of her body. The depictions represent iconic puns on Greek language expressions such as ‘my soul was taken inside out’ which means that someone is tormenting her.
