Chromatic Ribbon Sculpture

by Christian Ovís

‘Chromatic Ribbon Sculpture’ depicts an abstract composition of colourful ribbons winding upwards against a grey background. Yellow, red, blue, turquoise and light purple alternate in narrow strips and broad curves. The ribbon forms cross one another, twist around their own axes and leave open spaces between the loops. As a result, the whole piece appears light, spacious and dynamic.

At the top, the curved lines fan out, whilst the lower shapes taper downwards. Bright patches of colour alternate with dark interiors and soft shadows. This contrast makes the twists clearly visible and gives the abstract composition an almost dancing rhythm. Some edges are sharply defined, whilst others fade away behind the next bend. The calm background keeps the focus on the flowing contours and the interplay of warm and cool colours.

This colourful abstract wall decoration suits a modern interior where a vertical focal point is welcome. Think of a spot next to a cupboard, above a narrow table or on a quiet wall in a study. Grey and white allow the colours to stand out clearly; blue or yellow accessories, on the other hand, can complement individual ribbons. Up close, the interplay between flat areas and shadows is particularly striking.
