“Ornella” – a work of spontaneous abstraction.
Created in a free dialogue between color and movement, without a fixed goal, guided only by intuition and the moment. Green, red, and white meet, layer on top of each other, and dissolve again. Abstract colored surfaces and shapes, outlined with black Japanese ink.
Even during the creative phase, associations arose in me. Of Italy, of sunshine. And of tomatoes and mozzarella. Perhaps it was simply a desire for lightness … Or maybe I was just hungry :-)
This memory still resonates with me when I look at it and brings a little smile to my face: an interplay of warmth and freshness, of structure and chance. The colors breathe Mediterranean vitality and yet remain abstract, like an echo of a feeling, not a place.
This is how the work later found its name: Ornella. A classic Italian girl’s name with a poetic sound, which translates as something like “blooming ash tree.”
“Ornella” is contemporary abstract painting, spontaneous, intuitive, reduced, and yet lively. An original work of art that finds its own language between gesture and memory.
