MATISSE

“MATISSE” is a homage to the organ­ic forms of the great French master. In mono­chro­mat­ic shades of blue, abstract­ed, plant-like sil­hou­ettes unfold into a lively inter­play of sur­face, form, and rhythm. The com­po­si­tion feels both play­ful and metic­u­lous­ly composed—like a dance of cut-out shapes on a light back­ground. A trib­ute to light­ness, nature, and reduc­tion in the spirit of mod­ernism. “MATISSE” is an art­work from the “Blue in a Square” art series with over 300 works. Each piece is avail­able exclu­sive­ly online and can be pur­chased only through the art store.

How art bright­ens the spirit.

When I see beau­ti­ful art, some­thing mag­i­cal hap­pens to me. My mood, my spir­its, my whole state of mind feel elec­tri­fied. And every­thing charges up in a pos­i­tive way. It’s like look­ing out at the sea or across the Alps. When the senses are given some­thing pleas­ant to look at, it car­ries over into your own state of being. It’s always been that way. I just wasn’t aware of it before. When I think of cer­tain art­works, see them, or pic­ture them in my mind, it does some­thing to me – in a pos­i­tive way. Art has an effect.

That’s why I tried my hand as an artist early on. Because when you make art, it changes you. You feel free, safe, arrived and accept­ed. Encoun­ters with art – and making art, have a pos­i­tive effect on me. There are art­works I use to lift my mood. I only have to think of them. Matisse is such an artist. And he cre­at­ed count­less works of this heal­ing and pow­er­ful kind. When I think of Matisse – his blue, his flow­ers, his art­works, it’s like lis­ten­ing to Beethoven’s 5th piano con­cer­to or enjoy­ing a crème brûlée. Like look­ing at a water­fall. Or watch­ing the sea.

The beauty of Matisse’s works is so incred­i­ble that they had to become part of my pos­i­tive memory cul­ture. I asso­ciate such pos­i­tive feel­ings with Matisse that, like Hopper, he must not be miss­ing. People who have no con­nec­tion to art are miss­ing some­thing they don’t even know exists – and don’t know they are miss­ing. Art is a psy­cho­log­i­cal nutri­ent. A basic staple food for the mind.

The art­work “Matisse” is part of a series of more than 300 works full of pos­i­tive memory cul­ture. The art­work “Matisse” can be pur­chased on its own or as part of a series, for anyone who likes to be sur­round­ed by many pos­i­tive impulses.
