About the artwork

The abstract and colourful panorama presented here unfolds as a visual homage to light, colour and movement. An abstractly interpreted sun shines in the upper left-hand section of the picture - powerful and mysterious at the same time. Its rays, applied in thick, impasto acrylic paint, spread across the canvas in luminous paths and form a vibrant spectrum towards the end - a rainbow that conveys not only colour but also emotion.

In the lower foreground, an imaginative, massive mountain range rises up, also traversed by the colours of the rainbow. It forms a counterpart to the energetic radiance of the sun and at the same time opens up space for individual associations - a place between reality and imagination.

The deliberately relief-like application of colour lends the work a sculptural quality. The light not only appears to be painted, but can almost be felt physically. The structured surface captures it, refracts it like a prism and thus creates a fascinating depth and movement. A sensual dynamic is created that draws the eye into a spherical world - a world in which nature, light and emotion merge inseparably.

The sun, as a universal symbol of origin and vitality, does not appear here in isolation, but embedded in a pulsating circle of colour that both envelops and penetrates it. The rainbow - traditionally a symbol of hope, change and connection - becomes the supporting element of an imaginary landscape in which viewers can lose themselves, find themselves again or relocate themselves.

This work invites us to experience colour as a feeling, to understand light as the expression of an inner language and to discover painting as a lively approach to the multi-layered levels of human perception.
