Artwork description
Three aluminum shapes, painted blue, yellow and red, respectively, are attached to the wall by white rods. Livre, Anneaux et Trompette is an installation that calls on the mind, body and emotion. It is a homage to a child, developing into a balanced, serene human being. In addition, the colours blue, yellow and red are the basis for all other colours of the rainbow, which is in each one of us.
