Description
This artwork is a vibrant and colorful piece featuring a silhouette of a human figure composed of horizontal stripes in various colors, ranging from soft pastels to bright, bold hues. Overlaid on the silhouette, there's a prominent pink flower, adding a unique dimension to the piece.
The choice of horizontal stripes in diverse colors brings a rhythmic harmony to the composition, reminiscent of a spectrum. This use of color is visually engaging, drawing the viewer's eyes across the piece and creating a sense of movement. The boldness of the palette suggests an exploration of identity or emotion, with the colors symbolizing different facets or moods of the human experience.
The inclusion of the pink flower as a focal point introduces a natural element amidst the abstraction. This contrast between the organic form of the flower and the geometric stripes adds a layer of complexity and depth, encouraging the viewer to ponder the relationship between humanity and nature.
The overall effect of the piece is one of vibrancy and life, evoking feelings of optimism and renewal. This work succeeds in capturing attention and igniting curiosity, encouraging the viewer to engage more deeply with the themes it may suggest.

Alain Hentschel
Palatka, FL, USA
Graduating from a master’s program in drawing and painting at California State University Long Beach in 1976, I left the US in order to discover what the world held for a young artist. Two years and many destinations later, I landed in Paris with the hopes of studying the great works of art - my desire to soak up the rich resources of history still intact. As fate would have it, the City of Light became my home for the next twenty-four years. Many historically important artists with influence on my work include Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, Richard Diebenkorn, Sam Francis and Willem De Kooning to name a few. All my time in Paris and other locales both here and abroad allowed me access, first hand, to examples of all of the history of western art. I find that in the process of creating my art today, I still reflect on the experiences of my past and draw on the ideas and concepts found there and aspire to creating something new from it.
