Art By Rikke Darling - Paintings & Murals

Visual artist in Copenhagen Danmark. Paintings I Murals I Architectural Art I Sculptures My art entails a confidence in the power of abstraction, the complex and the subtle, where something inarticulated in us is met with an inspiring energy. With my art, in a visual narrative, I wish to move the observer with my outlook on the nature in man – and the man in nature. It is a narrative of how man is nature and part of a complex universal pattern, where surroundings, on an energy level, merge with sensation, emotions and thoughts. We are in the Science Art (SciArt) category, where I examine and express something about the world. I reduce a scientific or an aesthetic concept down to fewer or simpler elements with the purpose of closer examination. I use this reductionistic approach in my art in regards to both shape and colors, where I examine the individual components in order to reveal a more complex phenomenon. I seek to evoke a sensual and emotional realization in the observer. In my art I use the flow of nature, where large amounts of water make shapes floating and alive. I use the laws of nature to create movement and cracks. Branches shoot forward like new beginnings and follow the universal pattern of fractal budding. Cells are the building blocks of nature and the foundation of life. Everything alive consists of cells. The human body is in constant change from the first cell formation, where stem cells are the foundation of our complex organism. I view the world holistically with a focus on the whole. Humans and everything in the world are inextricably linked. I am fascinated by nature’s patterns and by micro and macrocosm relations. Patterns in nature occur in fractal geometry, where they are embedded in each other and recur in things large and small. The fractal patterns apply to both nature’s simple organisms and the more complex ones, and thus, they apply to us humans as well.
