This painting presents itself as an abstract work that conveys an intense yet gloomy atmosphere through the predominant shades of gray and the dynamic texture. It appears raw and expressive, with the vertical brushstrokes and structures playing a central role.
The dominant black, white and gray tones create a melancholic or thoughtful mood. The painting is intended to express inner conflicts, grief and a phase of self-reflection.
The vertical lines give the painting a certain order, which is, however, broken by the irregular textures and paint applications. This is an indication of the tension between stability and chaos, control and letting go.
The textures are reminiscent of natural elements such as tree trunks, rocks or rough landscapes. This is intended to create a connection to nature, as a symbol of strength or transience. The seemingly eroded, weathered areas indicate the passage of time, change and decay. At the same time, there is a kind of resistance or hope in the contrasting transitions between light and dark.
