A large-format paint-box painting full of lightness

“The Cheerful Circle” (120 × 150 × 4 cm, 2012) unfolds a lively color composition reminiscent of a convivial gathering. Light pink, yellow, and blue tones dominate the large areas in the upper part, while strong accents in black, red, and green below create contrasts.

The rectangular fields appear like small squares where colors enter into dialogue with one another. Splashes, overlays, and impasto structures reinforce the impression of movement and lightheartedness. “The Cheerful Circle” is a painting that conveys optimism and joy – an artistic celebration in color.

Sold – and now in private ownership
