Inferna Lux

Inferna Lux – A artwork between light and darkness

To begin with: Every viewer may and should form their own picture, use their own imagination and draw a story in their mind’s eye. The following is just one interpretation of the countless possibilities:

The title “Inferna Lux” comes from Latin and combines the terms Inferna (“infernal”, “subterranean”) and Lux (“light”). This combination describes a powerful and at the same time gloomy idea of a light that seems to rise from a deep, mysterious or threatening source. The symbolism is strong and richly contrasted in this work of art.

The painting captures the duality of light and darkness with impressive intensity. The contrasting textures and colors create a dramatic tension that runs throughout the work. A palette of deep blacks, fiery reds and yellows and accents of copper and gold lend the painting a mystical depth. The textured surface, characterized by layered and incised elements, creates a moving dynamic that unfolds a deep emotional impact.

Inferna Lux stands for the tension between chaos and order, darkness and enlightenment. It inspires us to reflect on balance, transformation and the inner contrasts of life.

The materiality of “Inferna Lux” underlines the work’s tripartite division. The upper half shows a lively, textured surface of black, interspersed with red, blue and yellow accents. At the bottom left, black, gold and bronze dominate, structured by fine lines and grooves that create a rhythmic depth. At the bottom right, an organic surface of wood stain and brown pigments contrasts, lending the work a grounded, natural component. These diverse textures combine to create an exciting overall picture.

This work of art blends seamlessly into modern interiors and acts as an expressive statement piece. With its intense aesthetics, it becomes a central eye-catcher, adding atmosphere and depth.

“Inferna Lux” – a gateway to the mysterious beauty of the underworld.
