“Within the Realm of Possibility”
…a work that in the background creates an emotional undercurrent of warm yellow and orange tones, floating and shimmering diffusely…they carry what exists before any order…thoughts, feelings, inner impulses. The shapes lie upon this field, are held by it, and at the same time are put under tension…in this living, restless space, stability emerges, which is never static, but always in process.
The many triangles create a system of movement, order, and tension. They represent orientation, support, and structure, but they are not rigid…they overlap, collide, and their effect changes with color, size, and position…The circles introduce rhythm and vitality, oscillating among the triangles, breaking apart, connecting, or representing recurring thoughts and feelings. The combination of these elements creates a balance between control and unrest, between order and chaos…a picture that is simultaneously stable and in motion.
A visual and thematic focal point of the work, for me, is the round, closed neon circle with a thick red outline at the tip of the blue triangle, as well as the neon-orange semicircle that distinctly encloses the triangle’s tip. While the circle within the triangle acts like an inner core, almost dominant and rigid at the triangle’s peak, the semicircle remains open…incomplete and, above all, vulnerable…it resists order and demands attention…Both elements clearly express the ambivalence between chaos and order…between freedom and limitation…between control and inner impulses.
The personal development becomes especially intriguing when observing the large red triangle, whose tip, unlike in my previous works, points downward rather than upward. It feels heavier, grounding, and corporeal. The triangle…for me, it primarily symbolizes stability, yet here it emerges not through ascent, but through holding…bearing and enduring…the red reinforces this impression…it shows that this stability is not neutral, but emotionally carried and charged with tension. This is not about higher, further, faster…here it is about grounding, consciously accepting limits, and remaining in the here and now.
Overall, the painting reflects my inner state…stability that is not taken for granted, movement that simultaneously needs support, and order that only arises within the tension between chaos and control. The work negotiates the boundaries of structure, the dialogue between freedom and limitation, between control and inner impulse.
This is further emphasized and enhanced by the color design of the individual elements…Blue appears cool, analytical, structuring…Red carries energy, presence, and intensity…Yellow and orange create warmth, movement, and emotional depth. Light areas open up spaces in between, where nothing is closed off and everything remains possible.
Everything remains
within the realm of possibility –
not out of weakness,
but out of awareness.
