At my studio, I like to create unique work on paper. I trust my intuition and let go of the outcome. I am also guided by chance and a limited choice of colours.
This image reminds me of Lake Como in northern Italy. As if floating above the lake and looking down on the water, in which different colours reflect. Red, orange, pink, purple but also green tending towards gold. At the top of the image, dark red lines seem to form the beginning of the shore. So it looks like the mountains disappearing into Lake Como. The bright, deep colour suits are catchy. And despite being so exuberant, the image gives me peace.
Because I had the inks mixed on paper and blended into each other, you see many different transitional colours. Very occasionally, up close, you also see minute 'dots' of accumulated dust and ink; the original remains handmade work. But never disturbing.
This work gives your wall the warm and original look you are looking for. I imagine this work above a red armchair or above your bed.
This work is a cut-out from a handmade watercolour. From the same work, I have three more cut-outs available. Perfect to combine!
