Mixer in the Silence

by Christian Ovís

‘Mixer in the Silence’ depicts a kitchen mixer with a mixing bowl rendered in delicate, dark outlines. The mixer is positioned centrally against a large, irregular light-green area set against a soft-blue background. A whisk hangs above the round bowl, which has a curved handle on the right-hand side. The wide base and rounded top give the appliance a recognisable, simple shape.

The composition combines an everyday kitchen object with soft, abstract areas of colour. The line drawing remains open and contains few filled-in details. Double outlines suggest the edges of the mixer and the bowl. The green area forms a loose frame around the appliance and stands out gently against the blue. The muted colours keep the image light and airy, whilst the dark lines provide sufficient contrast. The spacious background allows the subject to stand out clearly.

This kitchen line art is suitable as wall art in a kitchen, baking corner or dining room. Light green and blue complement white cupboards, wood and soft accessories. The artwork would suit a Scandinavian or contemporary interior. A plain wall enhances the simple colour scheme. From a distance, you can recognise the mixer and bowl. Up close, the whisk, small knobs and playful contour lines become visible.
