This abstract painting combines calm and tension in a harmonious composition of deep black and earthy grey tones. The organic, amorphous forms look like traces of an inner landscape, spreading out over a cloudy, floating background. Their clear presence contrasts with the softness of the misty structures, creating an exciting balance.
The work invites the viewer to pause and immerse themselves in the depth of the forms. The fluid transitions of the grey layers are reminiscent of natural processes - erosion, smoke, fog - while the bold black surfaces look like archaic signs. This creates a dialogue between transience and permanence, between the ephemeral and the eternal.
The colour palette is deliberately reduced, which is precisely what gives it its elegant effect. It conveys a sense of grounding, calm and clarity, which comes into its own both in modern, minimalist living spaces and in atmospherically condensed collections.
Each form seems to grow morphically and dissolve again at the same time. This rhythm of compression and dissolution reflects processes that we recognise from nature, but also from our own inner experience. The picture opens up a meditative space in which one can constantly discover new details.
"Morphic Silence" is a work that does not have to be loud to be effective. Its power lies in the stillness, the fluidity and the invisible that resonates between the layers. It is art that does not want to be explained, but experienced.
I work with whatever is right at the moment: Acrylic, photography, digital. A work may begin on canvas and end somewhere else entirely. I layer, discard, edit. Mixed media and collages are my style.
