The boats and reflections 2022

Alfred Freddy Krupa made this painting called 'The boats and reflections' with confident strokes, letting the brush dance between black and white. It feels like he’s right there in the moment, just letting the image unfold. The darks are dense and solid, the whites are like playful wisps of thought, and everything is alive with the energy of the gesture. Look how the white swirls cut through the solid black, almost like smoke. It reminds me of how Cy Twombly used to work, making marks that feel both ancient and utterly modern. The beauty of a piece like this is that it doesn’t give you all the answers. It’s like a visual poem, inviting you to bring your own experiences and feelings to the mix, and maybe that’s what art is all about – an ongoing conversation, a shared space of imagination.
