A Strange Mixture (behind the entrance, to the left)
_Title of the work: 'A strange mixture'
Description of the work:
This work is part of my series 'Pizzart'. It has a special meaning to me, as it is the first for which I photographed a pizza and then abstracted it. I didn't have a precise plan about the outcome of the work, so I just began to mix parts of one of Pizza Guy's pizzas in Junglinster all by using a picture of the spicy pizza oil. At one moment of the process I got to this alien-shaped head which I found quite intriguing, I used it for a different work too by the way.
About its composition:
- The upper left corner features the spicy pizza oil while the lower right is a stretched version of the original pizza. Both parts flow in some sort of Maelstrom that will just blow your mind away.
Metal Petal (middle pillar, to the left)
_Title of the work: 'Metal petal'
Description of the work:
This is a work of my series 'Minimalist abstractions', a series I began with after I had enough of creating works with plenty of elements and a lot of complexity. I just wanted to get back to the beginning of my artistic journey, which means back to my childhood and try to create works with as few photographic elements as possible. I wanted to feel the spirit of the subjects I take into picture again, let their aura spread through the work, such as for this metal can.
About its composition:
- This one is quite funny, as this work made me crouch on the kitchen floor and photograph our kitchen from beneath, it even made me open the fridge to integrate part of its door and finally put into light a dusty space beneath the fridge closed by a grating. I actually had a lot of fun creating this work and I even consider it as my best minimal abstract work, by its mere composition in black and white.
Galactic entity (right above the bar)
_Title of the work: 'Galactic entity'
Description of the work:
This work is part of my 'Total abstraction' series, for which one I try to get to the ultimate abstraction all by experimenting with the photographed subjects, filtering and overall the right arrangement of the subjects in the work. It is supposed to represent a galactic entity, as the title suggests, for which I inspired myself on a certain character from a well-known cinematic universe.. I let you guess which one I mean.
About its composition:
- The base picture of this work is a buoy I photographed in the lake of Echternach at the swimming area with some algae in the background.
- As you might see, the face (composed of the buoy) of the mystical and also very powerful entity is situated in the center of the picture, whereas the algae are forming the energy rays both sides of the face. It's a being of time and space. It even has some hair on top of its face, also composed by some algae and water grass.
Oxytocin Boost (groundfloor in the back)
_Title of the work: 'Oxytocin Boost'
Description of the work:
This is a work on the positive effects of cuddling on our brains, a work that I created after I visited a cuddling party. I had a strong bond with another person there which made me create this work.
The goal is to create awareness to the positive affects that non-sexually and non-romantic intended (Important notice ! They are no swinger parties !) cuddles can have on our brains. It can notably heal traumas.
About its composition:
- In the background you can see the chemical structure of the neurotransmitter oxytocin, surrounded by some kind of yellow fog, which stands for the trance-like condition you might get into during cuddling.
- In the upper left corner lies a glasses cleaning cloth on a precious stone, covering it up to the mid. This cloth stands for the blanket covering you during the cuddling party and the stone for a burden you might be carry with you.
- Then there are the fine silk threads embracing the same stone, which represent the soft touches (again, non-erotic and out of the bikini zone) received during a cuddling party.
Note of myself:
I created this work in march 2023.
