Karolinen
Oil on canvas
120cm x 90cm / 48” x 36”
Karolinen, inspired by Vienna, the starting point of my journey, captures the essence of the city's striking Secession architecture. I was particularly drawn to the interplay between intricate decorative elements and expansive, unembellished surfaces found throughout many of Vienna’s buildings. This deliberate contrast not only enhances the ornamentation but also creates a refined sense of balance, a dynamic that became central to the composition of this piece.
Based on my travels through mainland Europe in 2018. At a turning point in my life, it focuses on my own personal interpretations of each city and takes colour inspiration from the scenery at night. These artworks all share the common theme of a single colour, which stems from the memory of the rivers in each city at night. Through careful and considered application I am able to create subtle shifts in tone, even though the original hue is the same. Each composition represents a separate city I stayed in and the feelings evoked by each.
