About the artwork “New beginning no 4”

Painting description

The square abstract painting “Neubeginn No. 4” (120 x 120 x 3 cm) thrives on its powerful materiality and an intense interplay between rust and white—a classic informal work in mixed media. Rust and white stand together at the center of the composition and rise upward as one, while the black at the bottom of the canvas firmly anchors the visual narrative—an interplay of warmth and clarity, of origin and new beginnings.

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. The rusty and white-cracked surfaces contrast powerfully and primally with one another, carrying the painting’s movement upward.

The Inspiration Behind It

“New Beginning No. 4” is part of the “New Beginning” series and is not a depiction but a sensation: the moment when something new emerges from a sense of grounding and warmth. The black represents grounding and depth, while the rising white symbolizes the abundance of all possibilities—for white contains all colors. The rusty hue brings additional warmth and power to the composition. The square work “New Beginning No. 4” invites you to open yourself directly to this new beginning—without a fixed form, but with palpable power.
