VARIO 1
VARIO 2
VARIO 3

The initial idea was to bring together uneven black polygons of different sizes with rounded colored surfaces. An everyday observation–the act of wrapping an object–provided the impetus for developing the present motif: VARIO, a reduced, almost closed form with clear contours and strong contrasts.

The achromatic artwork VARIO 1 lacks any vivid color accents. This work thrives on the contrast between the slightly shimmering graphite and the matt black acrylic surface.
