The Language of Colour, the Voice of the Soul
In these vivid compositions, colour becomes more than visual; it becomes emotional, symbolic, and elemental, illustrating the concept of Beyond Colour.
Kianush uses bark as a canvas not just to reflect nature, but to transcend it: layering pigments like thought, feeling, and memory. Here, crimson burns with longing, green hums with life, and blue carries the weight of stillness.
These works are not representations of the world as it is, but expressions of what lies beneath it: where colour speaks the language of the soul.
Beyond Colour invites viewers to explore deeper meanings and connections within the artwork.
