BIRCH_2023_120 x 100 x 2 cm
No. 1315_Birch from 2023 belongs to the group of works created in mixed media.
“Complex feelings and thoughts are best conveyed through the greatest possible simplification” Mark Rothko
Dynamic and reduced in color and form, the work focuses on earthbound textures. The use of metal-based iron dispersion, highly concentrated pure white pigments, and acrylic-based chalk paints lend the painting its archaic character.
The broken white reveals a rotating color field in the lower part of the painting, absorbing the eye into a web of green, orange, and reddish brown shades. The natural character of the composition evokes associations such as peeling brickwork or a wooden recess in the white trunk of a birch tree.
The harmonious overall appearance and its archaic character, through the choice of materials and discreetly designed, flowing transitions, form a reference to nature and tranquility silence.
