About the artwork

In Balance in Motion, a subtle tension unfolds between calm and dynamism, between order and freedom. The work consists of broad, powerful brushstrokes that interlock like a silent choreography of colour and form. The soft, powdery tones of beige, old pink and taupe contrast with deep, earthy planes of black and purple - as if light and shadow are constantly probing each other, without ever completely colliding.

At first glance, the composition seems tightly built up of geometric planes, but the organic movement of the paint strokes breaks open that order. In the curve of the dark arc - which moves across the canvas like a fluid gesture - lies the essence of the work: balance is not a standstill, but a constant movement, a breathing between extremes.

The paint texture betrays the maker's hand: tactile, layered, and full of nuance. Where colours overlap, new tones emerge - traces of dialogue between the conscious and the intuitive. The combination of matt and glossy areas reinforces that sense of depth and temporality.

Balance in Motion invites the viewer not only to look, but also to feel. The work reflects the human experience of searching for balance: between control and surrender, between thinking and feeling, between heaviness and lightness. In this constant interaction, not only harmony arises, but also life. Modern Abstract.
