Church window 2012
About This Work
This drawing presents a fascinating geometric pattern in the shape of a church window. The composition consists of many intersecting circles and lines that create numerous differently shaped segments. Each of these segments is filled with a different bright colour, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and various pastel shades. The upper part of the picture is more circular and is reminiscent of a rose or a mandala. The pattern tapers towards the bottom and ends in a point, imitating the characteristic shape of a Gothic church window. The coloured pencil technique used contrasts with the dark background. The black lines outlining the coloured segments reinforce this effect. Overall, the artwork radiates a hypnotic, kaleidoscopic quality. It invites the viewer to lose themselves in the details and explore the harmony of the colours and shapes.
