Abstract Landscape with waterfall. Hans Sturris (2001)
Colour, movement and atmosphere merge seamlessly in this expressive and energetic work. Using oil pastels, Hans creates a lively landscape that balances between reality and imagination. The powerful blue sky contrasts beautifully with the warm earth tones of the land, creating a deep spaciousness.
In the centre of the work, a white stream, possibly a waterfall or river, seems to meander through the landscape. It gives the composition a palpable dynamism, as if the landscape itself is in motion. Intense red and ochre-yellow accents pop up on the left and right, adding warmth and tension to the composition.
The typical Sturris touch is clearly visible: loose, broad strokes, rich textures and an intuitive way of painting that invites the viewer to give meaning to the scene himself. The result is a landscape that exudes both calm and energy, ideal for lovers of expressive, colourful art.
This work comes into its own beautifully as a print on various materials, from canvas to aluminium, where the structure and layering of the oil pastel stand out particularly well.
