About the artwork

This fine oil painting reveals a fascinating interpretation of the spiral as a central design element. The world in creation and the world in decay are one. Measured in amount it is a world of process of energy exchange. The existing active energy is constantly, permanently and uninterruptedly active in all spectrums, whether material, mechanical, spiritual and so on. Dimensions that do not yet have a word concept are also included. In the center of the picture there is a gigantic spiral that takes on the function of a world spiral and conveys an impressive stability and security. This spiral, which can only be glimpsed here but is present, forms the framework of the entire composition and is presented in a friendly and bright color scheme.

Interestingly, the spiral only becomes clearly visible in the image when it is X-rayed or an appropriate photo filter is used. This adds an extra layer of depth and mystery to the painting. The hidden nature of the spiral encourages the viewer to look closer and delve deeper into the meaning of the artwork.

The use of spirals in art, inspired by natural forms such as shells, galaxies and plants, is conceptually evident in this work. The spiral can be interpreted as a symbol of creativity and inspiration, as it embodies the idea that ideas and ideas flow in an endless stream, always opening up new possibilities. The unbroken shape of the spiral can also suggest the idea of eternity and infinity, as it has neither beginning nor end and can therefore serve as a metaphor for timeless concepts.

In many spiritual traditions, the spiral is used as a symbol of spiritual enlightenment and change in consciousness. It can represent the path to inner knowledge and the search for a higher meaning in life. This painting asks the viewer to reflect on the deep symbolic meaning of the spiral and its presence in nature and human consciousness. It conveys the idea that the spiral is not only an aesthetic form, but also a powerful symbol of the human experience and the pursuit of spiritual development.
