FLOORS – WALK OF LIFE

By Robert Sainer

At first glance, the series seems confined, yet it unfolds infinite dimensions. FLOORS – WALK OF LIFE by Robert Sainer is a profound exploration of the highs and lows of human existence, symbolized through a mesmerizing interplay of textures, patterns, and abstract compositions.

The series draws inspiration from the metaphorical „floors“ we walk on throughout life—each step reflecting a decision, a memory, or a transition. The works capture the ever-present oscillation between ascent and descent, triumph and challenge, evoking a deeply personal yet universal resonance.

Artistic Elements

• Textures and Layers: Sainer uses mixed media to create tactile surfaces, representing the complexities and contrasts of life’s journey.
• Infinite Perspectives: The compositions play with perception, suggesting unending depth within seemingly finite spaces.
• Emotional Color Palettes: Carefully selected hues transition between vibrant and subdued tones, symbolizing moments of joy, uncertainty, and introspection.

Themes and Interpretations

1. Life’s Decisions: The series invites viewers to reflect on the pivotal moments where choices define our path.
2. Resilience: The textured surfaces embody resilience, revealing beauty in imperfection and strength in vulnerability.
3. Continuity and Connection: Despite individual paths, the series emphasizes the shared human experience and interconnectedness of all journeys.

FLOORS – WALK OF LIFE is both an invitation to introspection and a celebration of the enduring human spirit. Each piece within the series stands as a testament to life’s complexity and the endless possibilities inherent in every step we take.

FLOORS is an essential step in the work of Robert Sainer.
