Popcorn (2025 - )
The series of paintings "Popcorn" explores the unique shapes of a seemingly ordinary, everyday snack.
In our fast-paced, consumerist rhythm of life, popcorn often goes unnoticed, yet it has always drawn the artist's attention due to its distinctive forms. Their forms are the starting point for a painting and a visual exploration of the motif. Once exposed to heat, each corn kernel undergoes a metamorphosis, creating a unique, organic shape. The artist focuses on studying the micro-forms of popcorn, which she enlarges and simplifies through painting.
The works are painted in watercolours on A4 paper. The choice of technique reflects the airy and fragile structure of popcorn, while the washes of colour allow for a subtle rendering of shadows. The monochromatic, delicate black-and-white treatment of the popcorn is complemented by an expressive accent of ochre.
