Frequently Asked
Questions
FAQ
Oliver Schäfer answers questions that he is frequently asked about his work.
Why do you paint these portraits of women?
I want to make these women visible. It has happened too often throughout history that the actions and achievements of women have been forgotten. With my pictures I can change that and make women, who have achieved important things, visible.
Why are you, as a man, committed to issues that affect women more?
Because gender equality concerns us all. The issue of “violence against women” is just one example of many and also concerns us men, because this violence comes from men. We will only be able to build a fairer world if men take part.
What do you want to achieve socially with these portraits?
I want to bring people together with my art. At many of my exhibitions I have already observed that my pictures serve as a kind of dialogue opener. Viewers start a conversation in front of my pictures. Of course, these conversations initially mostly concern the women portrayed, but they quickly turn into conversations about social issues. I think we need dialogues like these more than ever in these times.
Can your art be purchased?
Yes, my paintings are for sale. Some of the originals have already been sold. I also offer high-quality art prints and weatherproof reproductions of my works for those who cannot afford an original. This way, more people have access to my art and I can spread the stories of these women even better.
If you are interested in one of my works of art, please contact me by email or on social media. Or click here to go to my Etsy shop. There you can buy my art prints.
