Product description
Artist Daniel Wille, 2021, Mixed media on cardboard (incl. textile, metal, gypsum, stone, oil, acrylic) This captivating 3D mixed-media painting merges the fluidity of Impressionism with echoes of Degas' ballet scenes, enhanced by a richly textured fresco-like surface. The central figure, a dancer in a voluminous white dress, evokes a sense of delicate movement, her form blending into the surroundings with the dreamy, ethereal quality typical of Impressionist works. Her figure appears in mid-motion, capturing a fleeting moment as she faces away, immersed in her performance. The background is a swirl of soft greens and blues, with thickly applied textures mimicking the rough, aged surface of a fresco. The deliberate use of rough, layered strokes gives the impression that the image has emerged from a distant memory, faded yet alive. In the distance, other dancers appear in softer focus, their forms merging with the vibrant background, as though they are part of a collective dreamscape or a moment suspended in time. The contrast between the smoother, sculptural texture of the dancer's dress and the raw, fresco-like backdrop creates a compelling visual tension, reminiscent of Degas' focus on ballerinas but modernized with a tactile, 3D technique. The use of mixed media adds depth and complexity, with physical layers of material imitating the decay of ancient frescoes, further emphasizing the sense of time and memory. This artwork invites the viewer into a world where the past meets the present, where movement and stillness coexist, and where the delicate beauty of ballet is forever captured in a dreamlike, impressionistic haze.
