"You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the whole ocean in a drop."
In "Coral Fire", the delicate turquoise-green harmonies merge with the glowing glow of the orange-red coral to create a vibrant play of colors. Shell fragments from the Île de la Réunion intensify the radiance and bathe the work in a vibrant light. Dynamic brushstrokes create a simultaneously powerful and harmonious state of suspension - a constant oscillation between fire and water, past and present, accepting and letting go. Even in ancient times, coral was regarded as a protective amulet.
As Rûmi says: "You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the whole ocean in a drop."
Harmony of contrasts
I had carefully wrapped my treasures from Reunion Island in cotton fabric. I opened my suitcase and took them out. But then I saw the disaster: all my carefully collected, colorful shells were broken! How disappointing.
A few pieces fell on my work "Coral Fire", and I suddenly saw how wonderfully they shimmered. Yes, that was it! It looked simply magnificent. These delicate fragments of shells would enhance the brilliance of the painting even more. It reinforced the idea that a deep harmony was created in the harmonious interplay of contrasts. A moving balance that reminds you that the only true constant in life is change.
The rough yet gentle interplay of materials
Shell fragments lend the structure a tactile depth, as if you could feel the rough surface of the coral reefs under your fingertips.
The rough yet gentle interplay of materials is a symbol of the duality of life - calm and chaos, light and shadow, acceptance and letting go. The contrast between the soft, flowing shapes and the hard, structured elements gives you a feeling of tension that is never completely resolved.
This work of art was created for those who do not focus on what divides them in life, but on what connects them. They strive to lovingly accept their inner opposites. In this way, they are also lovingly open to what connects them in their dealings with other people.
This work serves as a daily reminder that we are deeply lovable beings, with all our contrasts and contradictions. When we focus on what brings us connectedness, we experience a sense of deep harmony.
Focus on connectedness
"Anja brought the works into our living room using Photoshop. That helped us a lot."
"The artwork "Yes" fits perfectly into our Art Nouveau apartment! We had a very dear person give it to us as a wedding present. My partner and I love the contrasts that create a lively harmony - just like in a relationship. Anja used Photoshop to visualize the works in the room. That helped us a lot with the selection."
