The paint residues used for this artwork come from a dried paint palette. Acrylic paints, oil paints, and lacquer remnants interact in the most diverse variations of color, shape, and size, forming a landscape in the process. Compositorially, the paint residues form a Whirlpool. From a distance, this artwork initially appears earthy or sandy, almost monochrome. However, the vortex is clearly recognizable up close due to its stronger tactile quality. It only arises at that point through the change in size of the paint residues. If you move a few steps closer to the painting, you realize that it is colorful.
A small modern artwork for a niche.
“Field of Mars LXIII” is a small artwork. It works best in a small room, a hallway, on a staircase or in a niche. The unusual spatiality – the tangible haptics (three-dimensional) combined with the contrasts (two-dimensional) – together with the simple composition creates a very original atmosphere that can only be fully explored gradually. Through the subtle spatiality and composition, the modern artwork attains a very fine elegance.
Atmosphere in the room with art in vertical or horizontal rows.
This type of art looks very elegant in vertical or horizontal rows. In this way, larger spaces can also be decorated and a special atmosphere can unfold in the room. For pictures that hang next to each other, it is important that their differences are decisive. A crater that appears yellow-brown from a distance, between beach-like reddish wave structures and a grayish-looking whirlpool, is more inspiring to the eye than several craters of the same size side by side. These can quickly be overlooked as a mere pattern.
Interesting facts about the unique piece "Field of Mars LXIII".
The special adhesives for cotton and the binder used for this artwork ensure very good adhesion of the paint residue to the canvas. If any paint residue does fall off—perhaps during transport or by curious children's fingers—it's not a big deal: All "Field of Mars" paintings consist of several layers glued paint remnants, so that even with minor damage, the canvas remains covered with paint residues.
I always strive to present an authentic image of my work on the website. The photos of the paintings are taken in the studio or next door in the living room. THowever, the colors you see on your monitor may differ slightly from the actual colors of the painting. The images showing the painting in a room were created using the "Smartist" app. This app displays paintings in exactly the right scale for the space and can also show artworks in any frame you like.
The price is worth it.
The price is also interesting: While the paintings from the "Field of Mars" series aren’t cheap, they are extremely affordable considering their quality. For some, this means a relatively low-risk entry into the world of art. For others, it might be a chance to decorate smaller spaces in a modern, interesting, and affordable way. With this type of art, you make a subtle statement. The use of paint remnants as a defining element adds something truly original to your decor. Don’t hesitate to request an art consultation from me.
