In Die Konstatierung, Jan Böhmer explores the fragile line between identity and appearance.
The work is part of a series in which the artist reflects on how fashion and branding influence the way we perceive ourselves.

The woman in the painting wears a Zara jacket while her head is covered by a bag, creating an
image that is both intimate and unsettling. She becomes a figure caught between individuality and anonymity, a symbol of how modern life often turns self-expression into self-erasure. Her exposed body contrasts with the hidden face, revealing the paradox of visibility in a world obsessed with surfaces.

Through strong colors and thick textures, Böhmer transforms this tension into visual energy. The combination of pink, blue, and yellow evokes both attraction and discomfort. Die Konstatierung becomes a quiet reflection on the human need to belong and the cost of surrendering authenticity to the illusion of style.
