Interview with Alexandra Wolf
Who are you – and what is Studio Froilein Juno to you?
I'm Alex. Artist, mother, marketing manager – and for a long time someone who didn't really show herself, or rather someone who didn't dare to be visible.
Studio Froilein Juno isn't a classic “art project” for me. It's more of a space where I can finally be honest and be myself. No briefing, no outside expectations. Just me.
Was that always clear to you?
Not at all.
I wanted to be an artist as a child, but somehow I ended up on a “sensible” path. University, job, functioning.
I was good at it, too – but it often felt tight.
And at some point the self-doubt came along. Especially at university and later at work. I often felt I wasn't good enough or didn't belong.
So I withdrew instead of showing myself.
And when did art come back?
It was never completely gone.
But for a long time it didn't really have a place.
Only when I noticed that I was losing myself a little in everyday life between work, responsibility and later motherhood did it become important again.
Not as a “career move”, but as something that brings me back to myself.
What does it mean to you to be a mother today and to follow this creative path at the same time?
Honestly: it's quite a balancing act.
I love being a mother. I really do.
But I also notice how quickly you lose sight of yourself.
There are so many expectations – visible or invisible. That you manage everything, have everything under control, are there for everyone.
And at the same time I feel this strong wish to have space for myself too. For my thoughts, my creativity, my own pace.
That isn't always easy to bear, but a lot of my art comes from exactly that.
Does being a woman play a role in your work?
Yes, absolutely – even if I don't always plan it consciously.
I think many of us have learned to adapt. Not to be too loud, not to take up too much space.
And I notice how deep that goes. How much we are all caught up in this patriarchal system.
My art is often an attempt to free myself from that a little.
To stand by myself more, even if it feels unfamiliar or sometimes even uncomfortable.
What do you want to express with your art?
I don't paint to create something perfect or to meet expectations.
It's more about making feelings visible that you might otherwise swallow or can't really grasp.
Sometimes those are quiet things, sometimes anger or overwhelm, or just that vague “something isn't right” feeling.
And what do you wish for when someone sees one of your works or has it at home?
I think I wish that someone recognises themselves in it.
That a picture isn't just “pretty”, but sets something off.
Maybe a short moment of:
“Ah, okay… so this is what it feels like. I'm not alone with it.”
And maybe also a small reminder that you don't have to lose yourself completely.
That you are allowed to take up space – even if it isn't always perfect or smooth.
What is Studio Froilein Juno for you in the end?
A process.
Not a finished concept.
More the attempt to become more visible step by step – without making myself small again.
