About "Facets of the Self"

About the artwork

The artwork "Facets of the Self" takes the viewer into a mosaic of emotions and personalities. Each grey and coloured facet represents a part of our identity, with the coloured facets representing the lively, dynamic moments of life and the grey ones the quiet, contemplative phases. Together they form the abstract image of a head that expresses the complexity of the human self. It is a play of light and shadow, of colours and shapes, which encourages us to reflect on the depth and complexity of human existence.

The artwork "Facets of the Self" is a mirror image of its counterpart "Reflection of the Other", which you can also find here in the Max Steinwald Gallery.

It is like looking into a mirror and discovering an alternative reality or a hidden part of yourself. The connection between the two paintings creates a dialogue between what we know of ourselves and what lies beyond our consciousness. Together they form a harmonious duo that embodies the duality and wholeness of the human condition. Ideally placed side by side, they invite the viewer to explore both the visible and hidden aspects of their existence.

These two artworks are particularly suited to modern living and working spaces where creative inspiration and profound reflection are to be encouraged. Their abstract depiction allows them to blend seamlessly into minimalist as well as avant-garde interiors and become the focal point of any room design.
They would also be a striking eye-catcher in galleries or lounges, where they encourage dialogue and interpretation. Their complexity and colour palettes go particularly well with neutral wall colours, bringing out the facets of the two artworks.
