In this painting, I present a powerful black-and-white, radial composition reminiscent of a stylized starfish or flower. From a bright center, countless repeating shapes fan outward, like overlapping petals or feathers. The alternation of deep black and soft white creates a strong optical effect: the image seems to pulsate, rotate, and even breathe. The shapes are tightly and symmetrically constructed, yet the fine gradations and undulating contours create a sense of movement and depth. Towards the edges, the lines extend into sharp rays, further emphasizing the center. The whole balances between order and illusion, between soothing symmetry and hypnotic dynamism. The painting evokes associations with optical art (op art) and mandalas: it invites prolonged viewing and has an almost meditative effect, while simultaneously radiating tension and energy.
Why collect this work?
A tightly centered radial structure converts repetition into optical pressure, making a static black-and-white pattern appear to swell outward and fold inward.
- The catalogue profile identifies MikoArt as Miechel Kockelkoren’s label for digital painting translated into physical form. That digital basis helps explain the composition’s controlled recurrence, without determining its visual effect.
- In the photograph, hooked bands repeat around a bright central point. They broaden into petal-like layers, then meet narrow rays extending to the square boundary, where the pattern feels compressed and partially cropped.
- Catalogue metadata records photo paper mounted on 3 mm Alu-Dibond beneath 2 to 3 mm of resin. The rigid support fixes the image as an object, while the resin may introduce reflections not reliably shown here.
- Dated 2016 and measuring 80 by 80 cm, the work provides a concentrated case for examining how symmetry can produce competing impressions of order, rotation, and depth.
