About "Bump and Horizon"

About the artwork

A young girl sits happily and confidently on a classic brown rocking horse, right between two open green balcony doors. Her small hands grasp the wooden handle, but in her right hand she holds a twisted soft-serve ice cream - melting in the summer sun, as if she does not care about time or drops. She wears a breezy dress, printed with large oval dots in blue, red, yellow and green - a colourful expression of childlike joy and freedom.

The balcony on which she hobbles lies under her bare feet in a sunny, yellow floor. Before her stretches a calm, endless view: clear blue water, lightly rippling, with sailboats moving across the horizon like specks of white. An image of space, tranquillity and discovery - a horizon waiting for her.

The scene is seen from a vibrant, colourful room. Pink curtains, printed with flower and leaf motifs in blue, orange and green, frame the balcony like a cheerful theatre opening. The orange tiled floor inside is softened by a motley carpet full of geometric patterns in yellow, red, pink, blue, green and white - a visual feast of warmth and playfulness.

On the floor are terracotta pots with lush plants: palms and other botanical species that fill the space with a sense of life, growth and summer energy. Everything radiates cheerfulness and vibrancy - a home where colour, nature and fantasy come together.

"Hobble & Horizon" captures that special moment where fantasy and reality coincide. A girl in her own colourful world, hobbling on the border between the here and there, between childhood dream and endless summer. Colourful. Pop art. Summer.
