As above, so below by Sonja Lechner

As above, so below! Is the light area at the top and the deep blue at the bottom? Or should it be the other way round? The icebergs of Spitsbergen with the dark sea of the Arctic are my inspiration for this abstract acrylic painting full of energy and contrast. Everything in flux, moving away from each other and yet back to each other. Tension arises, tamed by the colour harmony.

"As above, so below" is a power painting, a soul painting. It gives energy and peace in equal measure! Your gaze can lose itself in it and thus rest.

For me, painting has been language, relaxation and a fountain of energy at the same time since childhood.
At the easel I forget the time around me, recharge my batteries and enjoy every second of the creative process. I can lose myself in two things: looking at nature and painting! I love both equally and so it's no surprise that nature themes are always to be found in my motifs. Not as in a photograph, but as my interpretation. Honoré de Balzac said it: "It is not the task of art to copy nature, but to express it!"
In this sense, here you will find my interpretations of the world around me or deep inside me! I invite you to join me on my journey! "Every painting is more or less a study of the character of the person who painted it", quote Caspar David Friedrich.
