Abstract painting "Free like the wind" by Victoria Wittmer.

Free like the wind

Acrylic on canvas · 90 × 60 cm · 2025

Original artwork

Free like the wind is inspired by the raw and elemental landscape of Fuerteventura. The composition combines gestural abstraction with subtle figurative references. Wide sweeping forms and open colour fields evoke movement, wind and a sense of freedom.

Within the image space, the figure of a bird appears as a symbolic presence. Rather than depicting a literal animal, it represents the experience of being carried by natural forces — movement, openness and surrender to the elements.

The ocean forms a calm counterbalance within the composition. It anchors the painting between expansiveness and inner stability, creating a quiet dialogue between motion and stillness.
