About the artwork

In Connection, a subtle balance comes to life between contrast and harmony, between structure and emotion. The work consists of organic forms in shades of lilac, orange, beige and black - colours that complement and challenge each other, like voices in a conversation without words. The background, a mixture of beige and black, forms a muted landscape in which light and shadow slowly merge. The whole breathes a gentle tension: nothing is sharply defined, yet everything is exactly in place.

A pink line meanders through the orange surfaces, which exude a certain earthly power with their right angles and warm glow. That line seems fragile at first, but on closer inspection it is the backbone of the composition. It moves through the geometry with a fluid, almost human sensibility, connecting the parts and bringing rhythm to the whole.

The encounter between the forms feels like a dialogue - sometimes harmonious, sometimes abrasive, but always meaningful. The soft lilac brings coolness and distance, while the orange emerges pulsating and vibrant. The black offers depth, a space to disappear into; the beige and pink bring back warmth and humanity.

Connection is not only about visual relationships, but also about inner resonance. The shapes seem to seek, touch and release each other. A game of attraction and repulsion emerges, a reminder of how everything keeps moving, even in stasis.

The title reflects that dynamic: Connection is not an end state, but a constant movement between parts that need each other to exist. In the gentle loop of colour and line, the viewer experiences both isolation and fusion - a poetic metaphor for human connection, captured in paint. Modern Abstract. Bold Retro.
