A special way to display art.
The experimental landscape painting "Field of Mars LXV" measures 30 x 24 cm and is made of paint remnants and binder. The paint remnants used for this painting are colorful. Acrylic paints, oil paints, and lacquer residues interact in countless variations of color, shape, and size. The sizes of the paint remnants range from fine dust to paint chunks about 0.5 cm in diameter. It is the differences in size that allow for this composition. This makes it possible to present art in a unique way.

A colorful, experimental artwork made from leftover paint.
The leftover paint used for this experimental artwork is colorful. Acrylic paints, oil paints, and leftover varnish interact in a variety of ways in color, shape, and size. From a distance, the piece first appears to depict an earthy or sandy, gray, agricultural-like surface. As you step closer to the small painting, you realize that it is colorful and made up of small paint remnants. The wave structure is created solely by a repeating, line-like accumulation of larger paint chunks.
A modern landscape for a unique ambiance.
"Field of Mars LXV" belongs to the category of "modern landscape painting" and is best showcased in a small room, hallway, stairwell, or niche. The unusual spatiality of this landscape—the tactile (three-dimensional) aspect combined with the contrasts (two-dimensional)—creates a special ambiance that can only be fully appreciated over time. The spatial effect is extremely subtle, so this painting radiates a refined, elegant, and stimulating atmosphere, and you can purchase it at an affordable price.
"Mars" and "Feld"
This type of experimental art is not accessible to everyone. Nevertheless, the painting can spark curiosity. The juxtaposition of old (paint residue) and new (painting), and the title "Field of Mars"—incidentally, a place of political confrontation in ancient Rome—evokes associations around the terms "Mars" (planet, destruction, god of war) and "field" (structure, order).
Buy an abstract landscape at a low price
The price is also interesting: while the abstract landscapes aren’t cheap, they are extremely affordable for the quality. For some, buying one is a relatively risk-free entry into the art world. For others, it might be a chance to decorate smaller spaces in a modern, interesting, and affordable way. With this kind of art, you make a subtle statement. The paint remnants as the defining element give your interior a truly original touch.
