Composition: The composition of the mural is both intricate and balanced, despite it’s abstract nature. Berman arranges the elements of the mural in a way that suggests both a center and an outward flow, radiating from the center. The central focus draws the viewers eye initially, with surrounding shapes and patterns providing symmetry across the mural.
Color: Berman uses a bright palate with vibrant blues, greens and purples balanced with softer tones and occasionally warm accents. The use of this high-contrast combination gives the mural a sense of vibrancy and depth. The bold colors seem to radiate outward, creating a meditative atmosphere.
Line: The lines play a crucial role in the composition with a mix of bold, sweeping curves and delicate fine lines interwoven. The variety of thickness in the lines creates a visual interest and complexity, drawing the viewer to the sense of movement and flow.
Texture: While the mural is two-dimensional, the use of layered patterns and color variations creates an implied texture that is almost connected to touch. The overlapping colors and shapes suggest different textures, from smooth and flowing areas to rougher more densely packed patterns. This variation in visual textures invites the viewer to feel as if they are touching or moving through the different layers of the piece.
Space: The use of dynamic, with a skilled blend of foreground, middle ground and background provides a strong sense of depth. The idea of central throughout the mural acts as a foreground, capturing attention immediately. The surrounding elements recede into the middle and background, creating a layered effect that feels three-dimensional. This structured use of space enables viewers to interpret the mural as a journey into one’s inner self.
