The plan is slightly inclined
Simple geometric forms communicate complex ideas. Two symmetrical shapes, which can be interpreted as equally inclined planes or mechanical structures, are clearly outlined against a uniform, pastel background.
The use of linear elements creates
the illusion of three-dimensional space
on the flat surface of the canvas.
The flat color in the painting,
with it's subtle, pink tones, gives the work a calm, yet simultaneously warm mood. In contrast are two figurative figures.
The composition of the work balances between symmetry and asymmetry, where each element is precisely placed, creating a sense of balance despite
the slightly asymmetrical arrangement
of the two figures.
The simplicity of form and the limitation to a few colors allow for a focus
on the symbolism and emotions
that the painting is meant to evoke.
Boundaries in this painting are lines subtle and unnoticed at first glance, similar to the delicate incline of a slope. In life, too, boundaries are often unclear or unnoticed. Sometimes they are only recognized after being crossed.
The slightly inclined plane is a metaphor for changes that occur slowly
and inevitably, similar to movement
on a gently sloping surface. The lines
in this composition are life paths
and human experiences, which
are not always straight or predictable.
