GTW #14 

Friedel Dzubas created this vibrant painting, GTW #14, using bold strokes of color. At first glance, one might only perceive an abstract arrangement of forms. But consider the symbolism of color itself. Orange, the dominant hue, often represents energy and warmth across cultures. Yet, its intensity can also evoke feelings of agitation, a tension perhaps mirrored in the seemingly haphazard arrangement of shapes. The interplay between these colors echoes in art across epochs. The emotional fervor of Van Gogh's landscapes, for example, channels a similar emotive power through color. These arrangements affect our subconscious—the memory of a sunset, a vibrant market, or even primal sensations of warmth and danger. Notice how the painting stirs a sense of restless energy, a visual echo of the constant flux and transformation inherent to the human condition. These emotional and psychological resonances are not new; they are an eternal undercurrent. The symbolic language of color and form persists, constantly reborn, transcending time and culture.
