Description
This abstract oil painting captivates with its powerful interplay of red, blue and brown. The composition has a dynamic and expressive quality, with the colours applied in areas that are sometimes bold and sometimes blend gently into one another. The use of brushes and a palette knife lends the surface a lively texture – fine brushstrokes alternate with coarse, impasto-like marks made with the palette knife. The various techniques create depth and movement in the painting without depicting any specific forms. The effect is emotional and open to interpretation – depending on the viewing angle, the painting can evoke different moods and associations.
Mirko Lassalle
My work consists primarily of imaginatively painted landscapes, for which I use oil, acrylic or vinyl paints. The paintings exude a certain dreamlike quality and invite the viewer to discover their inner child – that playful, creative side that remains alive even in adulthood. The paintings do not tell specific stories; rather, the viewer is invited to immerse themselves in the landscapes and go for a stroll. I regard painting as a path to inner reflection, a form of meditation. I try to visualise my inner world – my feelings, dreams and visions – and invite the viewer to join me on this journey and, in doing so, to discover themselves – through a language beyond verbal communication. Nature plays a central role in my work, as for me it symbolises inner peace and a sense of security. I believe colours have a profound emotional and spiritual effect on the viewer. They create spaces for contemplation and introspection. My aim is to use my paintings to awaken a sensitivity to things that often lie beyond words – experiences and emotions that can only be expressed through visual language. It is less about an analytical understanding of the pictures and more about allowing oneself to be moved by the motifs and experiencing a moment of contemplation.
