[Painting]

In ‘Spatial Composition I’, the artist explores the conditions of spatial perception within a minimalist, constructive visual language. The starting point is a freely developed collage, the fragments and proportions of which are transferred onto the canvas. This transition from the experimental paper format to the large-scale medium of painting forms the core of the work: space emerges not as a representation, but as a transformation.

The composition is characterised by a precise balance between stability and openness. Black vertical and horizontal lines form a structural framework that structures the pictorial space, whilst the intense orange acts as an energetic accent, visually pushing individual areas forward. The neutral, light-coloured areas create zones of tranquillity and give the composition breathing space, which, despite its clarity, never appears static.

The process, executed entirely freehand, retains a slight irregularity that lends the work a human, vibrant character. The result is a balance between constructive rigour and intuitive gesture – a tension that recalls traditions of concrete and serial art, yet remains significantly more subjective and open.

‘Spatial Composition I’ explores how space in the image arises not through illusory depth, but through the relationship between surfaces, edges and proportions. The artist uses reduction as a means of focus: every line, every ratio, every shift contributes to the overall effect. Thus, the work becomes a study of order, perception and the subtle transition between formal construction and emotional impact.

Artist’s Statement

My painting emerges from an interplay between memory, perception and intuition. Some paintings develop from specific impressions, whilst others arise without a fixed starting point – born of the moment.

My work is process-oriented. The painting emerges through the act of creating: through layers, breaks and decisions that often only become apparent whilst I am painting. I am less interested in the finished motif than in the state the painting finds itself in.

Figurative elements emerge and then dissolve again. Forms remain fragmentary, shift and lose their clarity. At the same time, pictorial spaces emerge that can be experienced emotionally and physically.

Colour is a central medium in this process. It is direct, intuitive and often contradictory. It conveys mood, movement and time without definitively defining anything.

My work is about transitions: between the inner and the outer, between memory and the present, between control and letting go.

The images are not definitive statements, but open states – they remain in flux.
