About the artwork

In Silence in Structure, a graphic landscape unfolds that does not tell a story, but evokes an experience. Black-and-white lines form an abstract pattern in which direction and repetition converge in a seemingly endless variety. Straight lines, sharp angles, unexpected intersections - each element contributes to a larger whole that seems to be in constant motion.

Yet there is also tranquillity. The white background acts not merely as a support, but as a space for breath. It gives each line its own place, its own meaning. The interplay between black and white creates a rhythm reminiscent of music: a composition of silences and impulses.

The eye is not guided but challenged. There is no starting point, no logical route. The shapes overlap, build tension, dissolve again. The illusion of depth arises purely from direction and repetition. What seems flat takes on layers; what looks structured turns out to be surprisingly unpredictable.

Silence in Structure is not dependent on context or format. It functions autonomously as an image, but can just as easily be translated into applications: on fabric, paper, walls or packaging. What remains is the play of balance - between order and freedom, between pattern and surprise.

The work invites you to look without expectation. To get lost without getting lost. To stand still in a world of movement.

In its essence, Silence in Structure is a visual investigation into the power of simplicity - and how complex it can be.
