With the abstract painting “The Center is Black”, the artist has created a composition that immediately captivates the viewer. For the artist, black represents the spiritual center that seems to draw everything around it into an inner depth. It is not a threatening black but a peaceful one, because it rests on a blue background and may thus recall the unity of transcendent being. The black also serves as a place of calm amid an ecstatic explosion of color, like the rim of a volcano that is about to erupt. Surrounded by glowing red, radiant orange, and deep blue, a field of tension arises between chaos and stillness, movement and contemplation. The strong structure and intense colors invite a contemplative experience of peace, wholeness, and inner balance.
