The bold use of the color blue in the painting "Nova" conveys a sense of energy and movement that reflects the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the figures and their relationships.
The composition is carefully balanced and structured, inviting the viewer to explore and discover new perspectives.
"Nova" is an immersive work that invites the viewer to consider the transformative and explosive power of events and the ways in which they impact and shape the world around us. The interaction between the figures is presented as a cosmic event, with the figures themselves representing the event horizon beyond which the laws of physics break down and the unknown dwells. Anton Small's painting is a tribute to the enduring human desire to connect with and understand the mysteries of the universe and the mind.
