About the artwork “New beginning no 5”

Painting description

The large-format abstract painting “New Beginning No. 5” (200x130x3 cm) is characterized by austere clarity and powerful materiality—a classic informal work in mixed media. Rising from a dense black at the bottom of the canvas, the composition ascends into a surging, billowing white—an interplay of origin and new beginnings, of grounding and movement. Subtle accents of rust break through the austere black-and-white effect with warm, luminous moments.

This intensity is achieved through a combination of ash, black soot pigment, light gray slate powder, and rust, blended with white pigment. 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 black-and-white composition.

The inspiration behind it

“New Beginning No. 5” is part of the “New Beginning” series and is not a depiction but a sensation: the moment when something new emerges from darkness and a foundation. Black represents origin, depth, and grounding, while the rising white symbolizes the abundance of all possibilities—for white contains all colors. The warm rust tone brings life and warmth to the austere two-tone palette. The large-format work “New Beginning No. 5” invites viewers to open themselves directly to this new beginning—without a fixed form, yet with palpable power.
