About the artwork “Thalassa”

Painting description

The large-format abstract painting “Thalassa” (130 × 230 cm) is characterized by strong movement and intense materiality—a classic informal work in mixed media. Starting from a deep, almost nocturnal blue in the upper part of the painting, the composition unfolds downward into foaming white and luminous emerald green-turquoise—an interplay of density and dissolution, of stillness and movement.

This intensity is achieved through the combination of ash, slate powder, marble powder, and rust with the blue, white, and emerald-green pigments. The surface is anything but smooth: it piles up, cracks open, and foams—a sculptural, almost relief-like texture that instinctively invites touch. Fine rust-colored speckles add warm accents amid the cool shades of blue and green.

The Inspiration Behind It

“Thalassa,” named after the Greek goddess of the sea, is not a depiction but a sensation: the depth, the pull, the power, and the clarity of the sea, translated into free, informal painting. The deep blue symbolizes unfathomability, the emerald green represents light-filled clarity, and the foaming white texture signifies energy and dissolution. The monumental work “Thalassa” invites viewers to open themselves directly to this movement and materiality—without a fixed form, yet with a palpable power.
