Twisted Ribbon Knot

by Christian Ovís

‘Twisted Ribbon Knot’ features a compact, vertical knot formed by wide coloured bands on a light grey background. At the top, orange, turquoise and yellow bands form a few open loops. In the centre, a wide blue strip winds almost horizontally through the composition. Below that, green and yellow areas twist towards a rounded orange curve. Small pink accents appear amongst the larger areas of colour.

The strips have a fine, visible texture and constantly change direction. Some parts lie almost flat, whilst others twist so that only a narrow edge is visible. Light outer surfaces contrast with dark inner surfaces, giving the knot a three-dimensional appearance. The blue central band connects the upper and lower loops. Beneath the shape, a soft shadow falls across the light surface. The openings lend an airy quality to the compact structure and make it easy to follow the various paths of the ribbons.

This colourful abstract wall decoration suits a modern interior with soft base tones and bright accents. In a living room, study or creative space, the piece can serve as a vibrant focal point. The blue and orange in the décor complement the largest strips. From a distance, the circular knot-like shape stands out; up close, the fine texture, small overlaps and different coloured reverse sides become visible.
