About the artwork

A dazzling picture shows the moment of a Christmas bauble explosion, frozen in crystal-clear detail and full of dramatic energy. Shiny baubles in red, gold, green, blue and silver swirl apart, their reflective surfaces mirroring fragmented flashes of light, tinsel and warm candlelight. The bursting glasses throw tiny, sparkling splinters in all directions; some pieces catch the light like little stars, others draw ghostly, shimmering lines through the room. Scattered ornaments, satin ribbons and strings of pearls fly between the sharply depicted fragments, their soft texture forming a charming contrast to the jagged edges of the shards.

The background remains deliberately dark and soft, allowing the colours and light reflections of the baubles to stand out more strongly and giving the scene an almost magical depth. A light veil of gold dust or glitter floats in the air and captures the moving atmosphere - as if time had been stretched for a moment. The composition balances chaos and aesthetics: although decay prevails, the arrangement of the elements also appears choreographed, almost musical. The picture evokes nostalgia and tension, reminiscent of fragile festivity and fleeting beauty. It invites the viewer to contemplate the fleeting moments between celebration and transience, to follow the play of light on glass and to discover a silent, visual poem in the visual caesura between order and dispersion.
