Marsfeld – The Art of Transformation and Texture
A Journey Through Marsfeld
The Marsfeld series is a visual and tactile exploration of transformation, minimalism, and organic textures. Inspired by natural landscapes, geological formations, and the balance between chaos and order, these abstract works capture the essence of nature’s ability to reinvent itself.
Each piece is composed of finely crushed and layered remnants of dried paint, repurposed from previous works. This sustainable approach gives the materials new meaning, turning discarded fragments into textured compositions that evoke landscapes, erosion, and shifting terrains.
Technique and Process
The creation of Marsfeld begins with a primed canvas onto which paint remnants are applied in carefully arranged layers. These fragments vary in size—from dust-like pigments to structured particles—creating surfaces reminiscent of cracked earth, sedimentary layers, or aerial views of distant landscapes.
The color palette blends natural, earthy tones with vibrant accents of red, blue, and yellow. Instead of traditional brushstrokes, the layering process allows colors to emerge organically, shaped by light and shadow. This technique adds a sculptural quality, making each painting as much about texture as it is about color.
Themes and Inspiration
The word Marsfeld historically refers to a place of transformation, a field where movement and energy converge. This idea is reflected in each work, where past artistic gestures are broken down and reassembled into new compositions. The series embodies the cycle of destruction and renewal, structure and spontaneity.
Many paintings resemble landscapes, either microscopic or vast. Some evoke planetary surfaces or wind-swept dunes, while others feel like sediment deposits shaped by time. The abstract forms invite personal interpretation, allowing each viewer to find their own meaning in the textures and patterns.
The inspiration comes from natural processes—erosion, layering, movement—capturing the idea that nothing remains static. Materials shift, decompose, and reform, much like the landscapes that shape our world.
A Timeless Presence in Contemporary Art
The Marsfeld series bridges material experimentation with contemporary abstraction. Its textured surfaces and minimalist yet expressive compositions offer a fresh perspective on transformation and the evolving nature of both art and the world we live in.
By embracing recycled materials and organic structures, Marsfeld reminds us that creativity, like nature, is a force of constant renewal.
