Color as Movement, Structure as Expression

The painting "Rare Bird" ( oil on canvas, 20x20 cm, 2025 ) is a composition of intense color contrasts and haptic structures in which the motif unfolds not through lines but through color and materiality. Bright yellow, rich green, deep blue and delicate violet tones form a vibrant, almost three-dimensional representation.

Instead of a direct depiction, the bird is created through the tension between soft color gradients and dynamic, pasty accents . The colors flow, meet, overlap - they move like the motif itself, between recognizability and free form.

The Visible Painting Process – Art in Motion

A special element of this work is the visible artist's palette , which is directly integrated into the composition. The pastose, relief-like areas of color remind us that painting is a process - a constant confrontation with form, material and movement.

The deliberately placed layers of paint and spatula marks create a three-dimensional effect that makes the bird almost tangible. The dialogue between surface and structure creates an image depth that changes depending on the incidence of light.

Between Figuration and Abstraction

Like many works in this series, "Rare Bird VIII" moves on the border between representational representation and pure color composition . The explosion of color does not allow the motif to remain in static calm, but suggests movement, change, energy.

The bird seems to emerge from the color itself – a brief moment of appearance that could dissolve at any time.

A work of art for the senses

This work challenges the eye – it cannot be reduced to a clear interpretation, but invites you to explore the surface, feel the rhythm of the colors and engage with the moment of creation .

Here, colour is not only a means of representation, but itself becomes a vehicle of expression – sometimes gently flowing, sometimes applied strongly, always in dialogue with the light .
