A special way to display art.
The experimental landscape painting “Field of Mars LXXVIII” measures 30 x 24 cm and consists of paint residues and binder. The paint residues used for this painting are colorful. Acrylic paints, oil paints, and varnish residues interact with each other in a wide variety of color, shape, and size. The sizes of the paint residues range from very fine dust to paint chunks with a diameter of approx. 0.5 cm. It is the differences in size that allow for a composition. In this way, art can be presented in a very special manner. Below are some key facts about the painting.
A small, experimental painting made from leftover paint.
The paint remnants used for this painting are colorful. Acrylic paints, oil paints, and leftover lacquer interact in the most diverse variations of color, form, and size. From a distance, the work initially appears to depict an earthy or sandy, gray, field-like surface. If you take a few steps toward the small painting, you realize that the picture is colorful and made up of small paint remnants. The wave structure arises solely from a repeated, line-like accumulation of larger paint chunks.
Field of Mars works for a special ambience.
"Marsfeld LXXVIII" belongs to the category of "modern landscape painting" and is best showcased in a small room, hallway, on a stairway wall, or in a niche. The unusual spatiality of this landscape – the haptics (three-dimensional) combined with the contrasts (two-dimensional) – creates a special ambience that can only be gradually explored. The spatial effect is extremely subtle, so this painting emanates a very fine, elegant, and stimulating presence, which you can also purchase at an affordable price.

The Field of Mars works can also be presented in vertical or horizontal rows, allowing them to adapt to the display space.
A different way of realizing landscape painting.
This way of “painting” a landscape is not accessible to everyone. Nevertheless, the result of the experimental application of leftover paint can spark curiosity. The juxtaposition of old (paint remnants) and new (painting) and the Title "Field of Mars" – incidentally also a place of political debate in ancient Rome – evokes associations around the words "Mars" and "field".
Buy an abstract landscape at a low price.
The price is also interesting: the abstract landscapes are not cheap, but extremely inexpensive in relation to their quality. For one person, buying them means a relatively low-risk entry into the world of art. For another, perhaps the opportunity to design smaller rooms in a modern, interesting and affordable way. With this kind of art, you make a quiet exclamation mark. The paint remnants alone, as the defining element of the image, give your interior something very original.
