Artwork location: Spain
This artwork is a striking piece that commands attention with its bold use of color and form. Central to the composition is a nude figure of a woman, positioned in a contemplative kneeling stance that immediately draws the viewer's focus. Her body is rendered in an array of colors, employing a palette that includes hues of yellow, green, and hints of red, giving her skin a multifaceted, almost surreal quality. This use of color not only highlights the curves and contours of her form but also infuses the piece with a vibrant energy. Her hair, a striking shade of red, cascades down, adding a dynamic contrast to the more muted tones of her skin. She wears glasses, a detail that adds an element of individuality and personal introspection to the figure. A chain extends from her neck to her navel, which may symbolize a form of connection or restraint, inviting further contemplation regarding its significance. The background of the artwork is equally compelling, featuring concentric circles of color—soft lilac, deep burgundy, and a stark black—each layer creating a sense of depth and framing the figure with a captivating geometric precision. The transition between these colors is smooth, yet they stand in stark contrast to each other, creating a harmonious yet intense visual experience. This piece stands out for its masterful use of color and form to convey emotion and narrative. The juxtaposition of the vibrant figure against the geometric backdrop creates a visual tension that is both intriguing and thought-provoking. The artwork invites viewers to explore themes of identity, vulnerability, and introspection, making it a powerful and evocative piece.

Presentation
Maurice Tgr Kummer has a Dutch mother and an Austrian father. He graduated Language and Culture Studies cum laude and was a writer for years. Countless poems, short stories, some scientific work and four novels by his hand were published.
Later he switched to storytelling by visual representation.
He developed his painting technique and his recognizable style by himself. Kummer's acrylic paintings are marked by adventurous topics, a very neat and graphical style, and by a challenging use of colours.
The personality and life of the models that he cooperates with inpire Kummer to transform visual reality into art. In a way his works portray their souls. He was, is and always will be a storyteller.
Lately Kummer also makes sculptures, out of wood, shell, stone and bone. As you will notice, this work is less figurative and more personal.
