“What the storm does not take”…
is a memory of the sea…of the wind on my skin…of the salt that resonates within me. The deep, vibrating blue on the canvas…a mirror of my own inner turmoil…a phase in which thoughts, feelings, and impulses rage through me like a storm…I myself trapped in a storm…stirred up and full of motion…emotions colliding with each other like waves against rocks. The circles, lines, and spirals are like responses to the storm within me – visible impulses that dance, push, twist, and circle around each other as if they want to probe the pent-up energy. They are the echo of my excitement, my turmoil, my thoughts colliding like waves. Every line, every spiral is a breath, a pulse, a moment in which my chaos becomes tangible.
And yet, in the midst of all this movement, something remains untouched: a quiet spark, a soft echo, an essence that no storm can shake. Like a ray of light piercing through turbulent water, like a crystal that withstands the surf, it preserves calm, steadiness, an invisible strength that endures everything. In these untouched points lies the quiet certainty that what truly matters…memory…inner strength…a part of myself…cannot be destroyed or swept away by any storm.
For me, this painting is a space where chaos and calm, movement and stillness, excitement and memory meet. The forces that touch me… the energies that move me… they keep circling… endlessly, quietly, steadily… they set accents, organize, create rhythm. They act like thoughts that bring order while emotions remain free. Tension meets harmony… like energy meets structure. Movement and rest are possible at the same time and coexist… sometimes ambivalent… but always in between… the anchor points… small islands that the storm cannot carry away.
