MEN, MEMORIES & ART
A Visual Autobiography by Aphra Hendrix
This exhibition brings together a collection of artworks created over several years, each inspired by someone who crossed my path and left a mark on my life – lovers, musicians, artists and friends.
From my first love in France in 1985 to the vibrant years in Berlin and the encounters that followed, these works reflect different chapters of my personal journey. They tell stories of passion, inspiration, friendship, artistic collaboration and loss.
Looking back at these pieces today, I see more than individual artworks. Together, they form a visual diary of people, emotions and unforgettable moments – a personal history told through colours, images and creative expression.
I created these works some years ago and am now considering revisiting and reworking them. Whether they will be ready by Wednesday remains to be seen.
If not, the exhibition will make its debut at our next Speed Dating event – an occasion that seems particularly fitting for a collection exploring love, relationships and the unexpected ways people become part of our stories.
Every picture has a story. Every story leaves a mark.
