The artwork named “Creation,” dating from 1920, is a renowned symbolic painting by the artist František Kupka, executed in oil on canvas. The piece, which measures 116 x 124 cm, belongs to the Orphism movement and resides in a private collection.
The artwork, true to the nature of Orphism, emphasizes the lyrical abstraction and vivid coloration characteristic of this movement. It employs a vibrant palette dominated by rich reds, deep blues, and contrasting whites and blacks, forming a dynamic composition of swirling and overlapping shapes. The non-representational forms create a sense of rhythmic motion and interplay of light and shadow, invoking a sense of cosmic creation. As a symbolic painting, it evokes abstract concepts and emotions through its masterful orchestration of colors and forms, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its visual symphony and extract their own interpretations.
