Description

Curatorial Statement – ArNoUx

Series Title: Against the Wind – Four Works, One Heart
Artist: ArNoUx
Medium: Mixed media on shaped cardboard panels using the ArNoUx Aqua Art Technique
Style: German Expressionist Abstract Figurative
Year: 2025

Description:
This collection unites four uniquely shaped works — a heart, a flower form, a half-circle, and a hexagon — each carrying a segment of the artist’s soul. Although the pieces differ in shape, gesture, and emotional tone, they are all anchored in one core: the heart of the artist, ArNoUx.

Painted on recycled cardboard using the unmistakable Aqua Art Technique by ArNoUx, the works combine fluid abstraction with figurative traces, resulting in a visual language that moves between identity, movement, and emotional resistance.

Every face painted “against the wind” represents perseverance, memory, and the unstoppable force of inner truth.
The strokes push forward.
The colors break through.
The shapes breathe independently but remain spiritually fused.

Together, these four works form one emotional organism, four chambers of a single artistic heart.

Individual Piece Concept (all connected)

The Heart:
The emotional core — storms of color, fragments of tenderness, and the place where resistance begins.

The Flower:
Growth, rebirth, and the face that blooms even when the winds are strongest.

The Half-Circle:
A horizon of transition, the unfinished becoming, a portrait breaking through from the unknown.

The Hexagon:
Structure within chaos, a battlefield of color where the artist confronts the wind directly.

Overall Interpretation

Against the Wind is about identity facing pressure, emotion confronting reality, and an artist painting herself through movement, water, and instinct. The series reveals the inner struggle and the inner victory — the four shapes becoming four voices
