Ancient Stairs and Modern Strength - A Red Ball Beams by Karina Brouwer

In my new series of works, I have used a visually very attractive colour combination, namely black and red. The background is deep black, a colour known for its elegance and mystery. Each work incorporates a subtle detail in intense red, which immediately grabs the viewer's attention and creates a powerful visual impact. This combination of black and red is often considered a golden combination in the art world because of its perfect balance between strength and subtlety. The black offers a rich, deep base that lets the red detail light up, creating a dynamic contrast that mesmerises the eyes.

These works evoke a range of emotions. The black canvas exudes a sense of mystery and depth, stimulating the imagination and inviting the viewer to delve deeper into the artwork. The red detail adds an element of passion and energy, a small focal point that suggests life and movement in an otherwise quiet composition. This play of light and dark, quiet and vibrant, makes each piece intriguing and unique.

It is a work of art that transforms any space. It adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any interior, while at the same time making a powerful statement. People should buy these works and hang them on their walls because they are not only a visual treat, but also a source of ongoing fascination and emotional resonance. Each piece is a conversation piece, a work of art that reveals new layers and details the longer you look at it. It is an investment in beauty and mystery, something that inspires every day.

KRABsursionism! A name that reflects exactly what my style is. KRA are my initials, the B stands for "pictorial" or "extraordinary" or .... is simply the first letter of my surname. 'KRABsursionism' is not only an amalgamation of my initials and artistic style, but also a reflection of my personal identity and creative brain. This term bears my stamp of individuality and artistic expression, merging surrealism and expressionism into a unique and powerful expression of my vision of art. With this, the abstract often cubist forms are also a hallmark of my fantasy world where anything can and may come together but it doesn't have to.

Furthermore, you will see many contrasts. this is something you will discover in my artworks, such as the contrasts in a painting of dark and light tones. Think of the difference between digital art and analogue photography, like two dance partners, each with their own style, but always in harmony with emotion like our music.

When creating my art, I always strive to evoke emotions. Whether it is joy, sadness, or just a moment of stillness, the goal is always to touch a feeling that comes from deep within.
