About this artwork
In this work, I used rose branches and a toy figure to depict the tension between captivity and liberation. The pale blue, innocent maiden disappears into the thicket of the thorny forest, while the dragon looks down on her from the upper right, watching over her journey, much like a guardian angel. Perhaps the maiden is emerging from the forest into a blue plain that promises liberation?
The thorny branches symbolize inner struggles, while the… calm, flowing forms outside convey hope and transformation. This energy is meant to bring courage to overcome obstacles. An object that keeps the power of the metaphysical alive in any room.

Nils Hoffmann works as a painter with roots in graphic design and extensive experience in landscape painting, abstract art, mixed media, and collage. His works integrate natural found objects—wood, roots, seeds, leaves, or thorns—as well as man-made objects such as rusted iron or old prints, etc., using diverse techniques such as painting, collage, layering, or monotype. His artworks are mostly dense, process-oriented compositions that express both intuition and his devotion to the respective subject matter, conveying with a mysterious intensity a deep connection to nature—and Mother Earth—and to the existential power of the elements.
