Additional Information

At noon the river runs with serene abandonment. An angel-like water iris rises from the depths and greets the sun as the creatures of the riverbank conceal themselves in the cool folds of stone.

In my river paintings the water metaphor refers to the consciousness dawning on the unconsciousness. The flower motif – delicate and transient – refers to beauty, life and the vitality of nature. The shades of the river, from ultramarine to turquoise to pure white, describe a passage of awareness, now quiet and calm, now resounding in swirls. As the white flower unfurls the diamond of enlightenment is released.

“The deeper the blue becomes, the more strongly it calls man towards the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure and, finally, for the supernatural… The brighter it becomes, the more it loses its sound, until it turns into silent stillness and becomes white.” Kandinsky
