About this artwork
A warm band runs across the image: ochre, rust, gold, interspersed with a deep reddish-brown that glows from within. Above and below, everything dissolves into a light, milky gray – as if dust were in the air, softening the horizon.
I know those days. When the Calima arrives, the warm wind carries Saharan dust across the sea to the island. The light becomes heavy and golden, the contours blur, the air tastes of warm dust and salt. I love this subdued… glow, in which the island lies for a few days as if encased in amber.
This warmth is inherent in the material. Thin glazes of pigment, ink, and rust lie over slaked lime and marble dust. As it dries, the surface cracks on its own; the fine cracks run across the surface like parched earth after a hot summer.

Petra Maruschek
Germany
Petra Maruschek is an abstract painter who works between Düsseldorf and Mallorca. Her work begins with a painting surface made of slaked lime and marble dust. As it dries, it cracks naturally—a process she initiates but does not control. Onto the cracked surface, she applies layer upon layer of highly diluted acrylic glazes, ink, and pigments, sometimes incorporating shellac, rust, or gold pigment. The glazes collect in the crevices, seep into the cracks, accentuate some textures, and conceal others.
Her painting is abstract. The island is not a subject, but a condition – light, silence, heat, the vastness of sky and sea.
Her development was self-taught, but not unguided: several years of instruction with Tomasz Piwarski, a master student of Rissa (Düsseldorf Art Academy).
Exhibitions include Copelouzos Family Art Museum, Athens; Museum of Sóller; Mallorca, Nit de l'Art in Palma, Ses Salines, Llucmajor., Mallorca.
