ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Titled "Atlantis," this canvas draws us into the depths of an ancient narrative, one of a grand kingdom submerging beneath the waves. Set against a profound cerulean backdrop, reminiscent of the vast ocean, the array of geometrical motifs hints at the complex architecture of the once-great city. One can't help but draw parallels with the stories of Atlantis, a city intricate in design and advanced in culture, now enigmatically submerged and lost to time. The composition's cubist approach feels like a fragmented memory, capturing different facets and viewpoints of Atlantis in its prime. Triangles, rectangles, and spirals come together to create a semblance of cityscapes, perhaps palaces or temples, breaking and drifting as the sea claims them. The aquatic color palette, dominated by shades of blue, reflects both the serenity and the overwhelming might of the ocean. The brighter pops of greens and pinks, interspersed throughout, could symbolize the life and vibrancy of Atlantis before its descent. Intriguingly, the concentric circles and spirals, with their cosmic touch, echo the celestial narratives often associated with Atlantis. These patterns can be seen as markers of time, reflecting the cyclic nature of creation and destruction, or perhaps as ripples emanating from the city's descent into the abyss. Through this piece, the viewer experiences the duality of Atlantis — its majesty and its tragedy. It's a poignant reminder of the transient nature of even the most splendid civilizations and the enduring allure of legends lost to the depths. "My art is a meditative journey, processing emotions and refreshing focus through vivid colors and abstract forms. Drawing from a vast well of literature, mythology, science fiction, and art history, I center on themes of transformation, symbolizing the ever-evolving cycle of life."

Luna Ljus
Germany
No orders possible between 12.12.2024 and 15.01.2025. Luna Ljus, a multidisciplinary artist originating from Brazil, presents a diverse portfolio centered around the motif of metamorphosis. Her creations resonate with profound shifts—be they physical, emotional, or historical. Drawing from a rich tapestry of inspirations, including mythology, sci-fi, and the annals of art history. Ljus's invites audiences to a realm where the present moment is momentarily set aside, allowing for a cathartic journey through emotion, only to circle back with a rejuvenated perspective. Employing a blend of the abstract and the literal, she reimagines literary, fictional, and historical themes, often through a kaleidoscope of vibrant hues. At the heart of her repertoire is the notion of transformation. Each piece, echoing life's cyclical dance of birth, decay, and rebirth, beckons onlookers to ponder the depths of change. Her visual lexicon unfolds with a mix of geometric musings and organic shapes, painting dreams and hinting at alternate dimensions. There's a deliberate interplay of color and form—a testament to her infatuation with their symbiotic relationship. Ljus's canvases pulsate with energy, largely credited to her choice of spirited, juxtaposed colors. The echoes of Fauvism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism, particularly the traces of Orphism and color field techniques, are undeniable in her work. Moreover, the recurring patterns and symbols in her pieces are deliberate nods to mythology, science fiction, and the annals of art history. Ljus's meticulous method involves a profound exploration of narrative through the prism of elementary forms and vivid colors, often blurring the lines between the abstract and the definitive. Her penchant for the tactile essence of paper and water-soluble pigments pushes her to constantly experiment with varied mediums, crafting semi-abstract artworks. Each creation undergoes an intriguing evolution. Beginning with a detailed watercolor foundation, the piece is subject to alterations in color fields and strokes over days or even weeks, reflecting the evolving thoughts and sentiments that sparked its inception. This fluid process sometimes yields unforeseen motifs, adding serendipitous layers to her work. Ljus's oeuvre is thoughtfully segmented into series: "Renewals" delves into the nuances of change. "Strange Worlds" is a poetic contemplation of alternate realities and entities.
