HIDDEN TREASURES | CONCEPT
The series hidden treasure explores the splendour and mystery of immaterial reflection.
As a result of the complex folds in the mirrored aluminium, most of the actual painting is only seen in its reflection. More, the painting seems to take life and even become animated, because the part of the mirror producing the reflection is uneven. As soon as the beholder begins to explore its secrets by moving from side to side, the work unfolds a surprising array of subtly shifting reflections of the painted image.
These reflected paintings are a unique contribution to the centuries-old art-historical and philosophical theory of painting as a mirror of the world. In the hidden treasure series, painting and mirror are amalgamated, transforming tangible paint into an ephemeral and virtual manifestation.
