The blue rider
From a young age, Mark Grojahn enjoyed drawing abstract forms like spirals, lines and geometric figures. He wasn’t aware that these sketches had any value, but they had to have some meaning! One day, a teacher encouraged him read Kandinsky’s essays. The inventor of abstract art stated that artists shouldn’t try to imitate reality, but rather, invent a different world of imagination but with precise and codified rules. Thanks to the influence of the Russian artist, Grotjahn came to understand the value of his work: his shapes, lines and abstract areas of colours have an artistic meaning and value. He paints stylized butterflies morphing into abstract geometric patterns, and enchanted forests and mysterious worlds that become landscapes of colour.
