About the artwork

The picture shows the entrance area of a high-rise apartment block in Erfurt, artistically reworked in strong red tones, orange and deep shadows. Clear lines and geometric surfaces define the structure, while the play of light and shadow through the trees creates an additional layer of complexity. The inspiration was the desire to make familiar architecture tangible in a new way through colour and contrasts.

The design vocabulary focuses on condensation: right angles, modular façade elements and rhythmic repetitions meet the expressive intensity of the colours. This creates an atmosphere that oscillates between abstraction and reality. The viewer experiences the building not as a purely functional unit, but as an artistic motif full of energy.

The message of the work lies in the valorisation of everyday architecture - it is about the perception of the ordinary as a designable image that awakens memories of urban living environments and at the same time opens up a new perspective.

In interior design, this work is particularly well suited to modern, urban or industrial styles, as well as trend-conscious concepts such as pop art-inspired spaces or contemporary loft interiors. It combines documentary rigour with artistic experimentation.

What is special about this picture is the transformation: the prefabricated building, often perceived as monotonous, is given a visual power that makes it an eye-catcher. At the same time, the motif refers to the history of housing construction in the GDR, which still characterises the cityscape of Erfurt today - but here interpreted in a new, colourful light.
