Anja Semling - Vibrierende Texturen

Work mounted on a frame

This painting shows a dynamic use of color and texture. I employed various techniques to create a surface that is rich and tactile. The dominant red tones, complemented by touches of green and gold, create a vibrant contrast. The use of impasto gives the work a three-dimensional dimension. The play of shadow and light creates visual depth. The composition appears spontaneous yet considered. It seems as if the piece is trying to capture the energy and movement of nature. The abstract formal language leaves ample room for interpretation. I poured the grain (= mini-beads) over it and colored it.
