“What’s the meaning…
of this painting?” This is perhaps the most frequent question that any artist is asked. Nonetheless, irrespective of the artists’ inspirations, the viewer may see, understand and experience something wholly different from the artist.
This is ‘Kontempart’.
How to contemplate
an artwork?
How to understand or interpret at a painting? Sit down, look carefully with the eyes of your soul; appreciate and be delighted by the colours, lines and texture; take your time until you immerse yourself in another dimension. I wish you a peaceful immersion!
