Aquatic Ballet (Ballet Aquatique originally - in French)

GallerySite/nahtx90h4b9whtoih311

This is a very intuitive and process based painting, using my favourite wet on wet method. I wanted to create something light and organic, with intertwining strands, like a ballet under water. I was in spring mode, hence the very spring inspired colour palette. It's done almost entirely with ink, very diluted for the most part. In some areas, I got my face right down next to the canvas to blow the ink in the direction it needed to go. For me it portrays hope, joy, grace and harmony. It's meditative. 58 x 58 x 1.8 cm on canvas CHF 400, plus shipping
