About "Step Back"

About the artwork

"Step Back" is not just an artwork; it is a visual journey that invites further investigation. At first glance, it presents itself as a city of abstract buildings, composed of geometric shapes and blocks with windows. The dominant hues of blue and red might suggest a vibrant, almost cyberpunk-like environment. But as the name suggests, it is up to the viewer to step back. And what a surprise awaits you there!

As you step back, the city miraculously transforms. A portrait of a young woman, 'Red', emerges from the shadows and hues of the buildings. With her signature red blowing hair, sunglasses with blue lenses and a red jacket, she embodies the lead role in this artistic narrative. The blue sky and clouds in the background emphasise her presence, as if she feels as much at home in this abstract city as in the real world.

This layering, both literal and figurative, is a hallmark of my work. My penchant for high contrasts and the prominent role of the colour red are also evident in this piece. "Step Back" is part of a larger series in which 'Red' stars, and many more adventures with her are in the works.

This work will keep surprising you every time you step back to see the bigger picture. While the icon in the search results might give you a hint, the real magic can only be fully experienced when you see the work in all its glory.

Enjoy "Step Back", a piece as dynamic and intriguing as life itself.

This piece is based on these two works, perhaps one of them will appeal to you even more.
