About "Amethyst and Asymmetry I"

About the artwork

The image evokes a sense of contrast and harmony, with the colours and shapes in the sculpture both complementing and challenging each other. Amethyst, as a colour often associated with mystery, spirituality and introspection, forms the deep background of the artwork. The aubergine and purple tones of the amethyst background give it a dreamy, almost meditative atmosphere. It evokes a sense of tranquillity but also of a certain elusiveness, as if the image is outside the boundaries of reality.

Asymmetry refers to the irregularity of the forms, the idea of a broken or disturbed harmony. The woman in the pink suit, with her black hair, lies not according to traditional proportions, but within an abstract drop shape that places her dynamically in space. The asymmetrical composition evokes the unpredictability of life, the distortion of expectations and the playful interaction between man and art. Her pose seems both calm and powerful, as if she is adapting to the imperfections of the world around her.

The title suggests that this combination of amethyst and asymmetry is not only aesthetic, but also has a deeper meaning: the tension between the desire for harmony and the reality of imperfection. The sculpture shows that beauty and strength often come from embracing imperfection, with the woman, enveloped by colours of mystery and disturbance, finding her own way within the chaos of abstraction. The drop shape itself can be seen as a metaphor for emotions in a continuous state of change, while the woman is central as a symbol of strength and balance within this dynamic.
