Title: Skier in Wengen (2024)
Technique: Acrylic on canvas with silver leaf
Size: 50 cm x 70 cm x 2 cm

Description:
The artwork shows a humorous moment in the alpine skiing scene in Wengen. A skier, seemingly in the middle of a spectacular fall, is captured dynamically and vividly. The look of laughter on the rider's face expresses lightness and joy - a tribute to the carefree moments on the slopes.

The bright colors of the clothing - the vibrant red of the sweater and the intense blue of the trousers - contrast effectively with the cool, reflective surface of the silver leaf in the background. This detail lends the work a modern, almost three-dimensional depth and emphasizes the wintry atmosphere.

The use of silver leaf creates an iridescent interplay of light and perspective that opens up a new dimension depending on the viewing angle. "Wengen", integrated by hand, refers to the world-famous ski resort in Switzerland and connects the scene with the alpine charm of the region.

Interpretation:
The work strikes a balance between adventure, comedy and the joy of skiing. The lively presentation and playful elements invite the viewer to celebrate the moments of imperfection that often leave the most beautiful memories.
