E02 (2024) Schilderij door Säme

In this painting, Säme explores the tension between the inside and the outside, the intimate and the universal. Through a thoughtful use of geometric form and color, she offers a reflection on the notions of center, balance and emotional connection.
The dominant magenta red symbolizes energy, passion and the intensity of emotions. It invades the space to captivate the eye and immerse the viewer in a warm but intense atmosphere.
The central white square represents a space of purity, calm or reflection. It acts as a sanctuary in the midst of tumult, an opening to a state of elevation or recentering.
The gradients from red to white on the edges convey a transition, a passage between two emotional states or two worlds.
A composition that plays on the symbolism of shapes.
The structure of this work is based on simple geometric shapes that are loaded with symbolism. The square, a symbol of order and stability, contrasts with the organic tension of the surrounding red. This juxtaposition creates a visual and emotional tension that challenges the viewer.

This work was made of acrylic, superimposing thick and diluted layers. This method creates subtle transitions and depth in tones, providing visual richness and vibrant texture.
With this painting, Säme is part of an approach combining minimalism and abstract expressionism. It is inspired by research on the balance between structure and spontaneity, while bringing a unique emotional dimension.

An invitation to refocus
This work is a contemplative experience. Säme invites the viewer to stop, to dive into the contrast between the density of red and the serenity of white. It offers a reflection on how we find spaces of peace and light within the hustle and bustle.
