ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Ethereal Still Life" invites the viewer to step into a world that balances between the tangible and the intangible. The title itself is a play on contrasts — "still life" traditionally invokes images of tangible, mundane objects, while "ethereal" suggests the opposite: something otherworldly, intangible, and fleeting. The juxtaposition of bright, bold colors with more muted tones provides a dance of depth and light, almost as if we're catching glimpses of a world not wholly of our own. The flowing forms and curves offer a sense of movement, suggesting that the 'still' in the title is not so much about stasis, but rather about capturing a single, fleeting moment of beauty. The use of overlapping shapes and tones lends a sense of dimensionality to the work. One can almost feel the vibrancy of each shape as it appears to float, ethereally, above the canvas. It's as if these forms are not stationary, but are caught in the midst of their ethereal dance. The gradations of color within each shape add to the sense of depth and volume, providing a tactile sensation to an otherwise intangible scene. They are reminiscent of the transient play of light and shadow, further amplifying the ethereal quality of the artwork. The piece encapsulates a realm that teeters on the edge of reality and dream, inviting viewers to ponder on the ephemeral nature of beauty and existence.

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.
