Stille Wasser - Abstract acrylic painting in spatula technique

The video documents the creation of the abstract acrylic painting “Stille Wasser”, which was executed exclusively using the palette knife technique on canvas. The deliberate renunciation of brushes creates a pastose, richly textured surface that comes to life through the application of paint and rhythm.

The composition refers associatively to the depth and tranquillity of still waters without being representational. Color surfaces and textures enter into an exciting dialogue that gives the work its calm yet powerful aura.

“Still Waters” is exemplary of contemporary abstract painting and shows the expressive possibilities of the palette knife technique in its purest form. The work is a unique piece of modern acrylic art and combines pictorial surface, materiality and sensation to create an independent visual language.
