Karla Woisnitza (born 16 August 1952) is a German artist.
She was born in Rüdersdorf and graduated in 1978 from the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. In 1991, Woisnitza received a diploma in painting and graphic design from the Academy. In 1992, she received the Marianne Werefkin Prize from the Berlin Women Artist Association. From 1993 to 1995, she painted seven large frescoes for the Virchow-Klinikum campus of the Charité hospital in Berlin. In 1994, Woisnitza received the Käthe Kollwitz Prize from the Berlin Academy of Arts. In 2002, she created a fresco for the church hall of the Evangelical church in Rüdersdorf.[1][2]
Karla was encouraged by two artist/teachers, Gunther Hornig and Erika Sturmer-Alex to do non-conformist conceptual art. She developed "an artistic activation of the body in the interest of female self-assurance and empowerment"[3] and would call "into question traditional representations of femininity as well as the basic difference between internal and external perception."[3] In her "Drawings for the Myth of Medea" with her "characteristically primitive and emblematic style"[3] she "approaches the figure from a psychological perspective, undermining the image of an unpredictable and irrational woman."[3]
