Elements
Over het werk
In this painting, titled "Elements," the spatial depth and layering symbolize the presence of air, adding a sense of dimension and movement to the elemental clash. Each fantastical creature embodies a distinct force of nature: the green, many-eyed, tentacled entity in the lower right corner suggests the element of earth, rooted and observing; the central blue, icy creature with fur and piercing yellow eyes represents water or ice, exuding coldness and solidity; while the red, snake-like figure with intense eyes and sharp teeth evokes the fiery, unpredictable nature of chaos.
The background features a setting sun over what could be a sea, reinforcing the interplay of elements. The air, symbolized by the painting's layered composition and sense of space, creates a dynamic tension, allowing each creature to exist within its realm while influencing the others. The combination of these elements, with air as the invisible connector, reflects the balance and conflict within nature, urging viewers to consider the delicate equilibrium that sustains the world.
