"The graceful, random shapes that emerge when mixing colors on the palette serve as inspiration for the motif."

Abstract animals as a motif in art.

The palette is a source of inspiration and a tool for artists who are deeply involved in mixing the perfect colors for their artworks. In "Out of the Light movements and forms that appear on the palette are captured to show concrete motifs—in each painting, an animal can be seen—in an unusual way. At the same time, compositions are created that allow the viewer to drift into the abstract. With prolonged viewing, form (animal motif), environment (color choice), and palette (symbolism) intertwine into more abstract sensations like "chance," "life," "development," and in these animal motifs quite concretely: "evolution."

The creation of the paintings in "Out the Light".

The idea for the theme "Out of the Light" was born while clearing away the palettes of my painting students. Because on their paint boxes, my "desired" visual language was already recognizable.

The often small-format canvases are primed white. After drawing the motif, they are used for "color mixing." 

The lightness of the paintings comes from the brightness of the white-primed canvases combined with the colorful, gracefully applied color areas. These create an stimulating, seemingly random composition. The grace of the forms is very crucial for the calm yet stimulating perception of the composition, as it allows the viewer to change their perspective even after prolonged viewing. Parts of the color areas determine the form of the motif, while the colors—partially—reflect the spatiality. The magic arises between reality and abstraction.

The viewing of abstract painting and the animal motif create an interaction of perception.

The painting is experimental, yet it is "slowed down" at certain boundaries. The outline of the motif acts as a kind of barrier when mixing the colors. This makes the motif definitely perceptible. The choice of colors is also not entirely random: the animals are shown in the colors of their environment. This creates spontaneous form and color compositions within a framework of a concept. Since the motif is only built over part of the boundaries of the color mixing, the eye repeatedly shifts to the abstract overall composition.
