The rust-brown outer layer of weathered sandstone, with soft, rosy layers underneath slowly becoming visible. In this painting, I seek that encounter between strength and softness. The dark outer surface encloses a warm center in which earth, rust, and skin come close together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Color Palette\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this work, I chose a palette that connects the earthy depth of stone with the softness of exposed layers: warm rust-brown as an enveloping color, with muted old rose, soft terracotta, and warm skin tones in the central color field. Not all nuances are immediately visible, but they live within the work. The soft vertical transitions are reminiscent of mineral traces in weathered sandstone. Not a literal representation of a rock face, but the feeling of a surface that reveals its inner self through time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnique \u0026amp; Material\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePainted with acrylic paint on panel, built up layer by layer. The surface has a subtle texture that looks different in changing light. The tight composition with the central color field is inspired by the Japanese aesthetic of \u003cem\u003ema\u003c\/em\u003e, the power of the empty space that encloses everything. The rust-brown outer surface gives the soft, rosy nuances in the center room to come into their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA floating effect on the wall\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor these paintings, I have developed my own hanging system. The 3 cm wooden block on the back keeps the panel straight and parallel to the wall, with space between the painting and the wall. This makes the work appear to float and creates a spatial 3D effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back is also part of the work: I have painted it Prussian blue. In combination with the distance from the wall, this creates a deep, dark shadow effect that gives the painting extra dimension. Not only the painted front, but also the space behind it contributes to the experience of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize: 40 × 40 cm\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Acrylic paint on panel\u003cbr\u003eUnique original: Hand-signed by Jordy Koumans\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is available in two ways:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollection in Tilburg: personal collection in my studio in Carré, Tilburg.\u003cbr\u003eShipping: carefully packed and shipped insured, worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KOJO Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66327215604061,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0983\/8778\/8125\/files\/productafbeelding-met-dezelfde-beeldgrootte-en-plaatsing-als-de-voorbeelden.png?v=1793021953","url":"https:\/\/www.kojoart.com\/en\/products\/iwahada-origineel","provider":"KOJO Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
