A spark of life: The genesis of the idea
For this work, I had a special person in mind – an art collector with whom I had discussed her favorite colors and preferences. Yellow, she said, should be the color, powerful and full of life.
She associated it with a clear message: "Hurrah, I'm still alive." Every morning, when she wakes up and looks at the painting, it should be a sign – a proof that she's still here, despite the health challenges she faces.
The size of the work was to be between 1 m x 1 m and 1.5 m in width. It could gladly be a two-part painting. But while working on it, I had the idea to add an optional middle section. This way, she can flexibly choose between two parts or use the third element to extend the work and create an even more intense effect.
