This work seems to glow, blaze, hot and beautiful! In any case, it is pure energy that Ute Bivona has brought to the canvas in this work. The artist wanted to set herself new challenges and therefore asked on Instagram and Facebook for color combinations that her followers would like to see, knowing that they would also move her out of her comfort zone. The artist rarely works with red so she was happy to take the challenge of red and orange tones. What could be more obvious in this work than to use the healing energy of the colors and to connect with the root chakra. The root chakra and the associated color red stands for life energy. You can see it clearly in this luminous work. And yet it's not boring. Through several applied layers, repeated washings, scratches, graphite lines, imaginary writing, markings with oil pastels, the picture gains depth and interest.
