Dyptic (sponge and stone) #1

Work description and interpretation
From the stone to the sponge. The stone, which is the origin of the colour, is transformed into pigment and becomes a painting material. It is a material through which the human gesture expresses itself. The sponge as a symbolic element that soaks up the experience (“soaks up like a sponge”) and the sponge as a small thing that fits in the palm of your hand, allowing you to hold the colour in your hand.
