Ernestine Faux’ central theme is colour, its intensity, its movement and how we perceive and feel colour. During the process of painting, Ernestine Faux experiences the color as light and also as sound. This is how the artist naturally came to the crystal singing bowls, which enable her to translate the light frequencies of the colors clearly and purely into the audible range.

It is her deepest artistic desire to lead people into the fascinating, mind-expanding and healing world of color vibrations. Her 2 x 2 meter Chromatics are monochrome, finely nuanced color circles that allow the viewer to literally bathe in the color vibrations and to open up to all sensations that the colours triggers in him, on a physical or more subtle levels, such as feelings and inner images. Ernestine Faux’s painting offers a free space for these perceptions, the ancient walls of the Salamanka cellar offer the ideal resonance body.

This unique exhibition at the Castle of Porcia also shows the relationship between the individual and the cosmic. In addition to the oversized chromatics, which convey cosmic depth, we find small circles of colour with a wide variety of nuances that shine like gems between the stones of the walls. Every visitor will surely find a color with to connect with and to represent his very personal point of reference.

After the opening performance, in which Ernestine Faux will play music on a series of crystal singing bowls illuminated with color, one singing bowl will remain in the exhibition space. Every visitor is invited to play them carefully in order to immerse themselves in the sound of the color in a very individual way.
