Untitled 

This untitled work comes from a period when Hilma af Klint was exploring spiritualism and abstract forms, a time when women artists were often marginalized in mainstream art circles. Af Klint, born in 1862, engaged with the societal restrictions placed on women of her era by forging her own unique path in art. This piece uses watercolor to present an almost biological structure, perhaps reminiscent of a tree, yet filled with symbolic elements like birds and hearts. It reflects af Klint's deep dive into the occult and her quest to articulate the intangible aspects of existence. She once said her paintings were dictated by a higher power. This work, with its layered forms and delicate colors, evokes a sense of growth and interconnectedness, challenging traditional artistic representations and developing a visual language rooted in her spiritual beliefs. Ultimately, the painting speaks to the broader human desire to understand our place in the universe, intertwining personal spirituality with universal themes of life, death, and rebirth.
