Hilma af Klint Swan No 17 Print
Balance, beauty, and the courage to believe in something bigger. Hilma af Klint’s Swan No. 17 turns geometry into poetry - a bold vision of harmony where science, spirit, and art collide in luminous perfection. This Swedish legend was painting minimalist perfection in 1914-1915, distilling the essence of swan energy into that stunning coral-red background and perfect geometric circle while everyone else was still stuck painting realistic birds. Talk about capturing spiritual symbolism in pure geometric poetry!
Created between 1914 and 1915, Hilma af Klint’s Swan No. 17 captures her search for universal connection - light and dark, male and female, chaos and calm. Long before abstraction was “invented,” Hilma was already painting the unseen. Her work reminds us that every masterpiece begins with intuition and ends in revelation. The perfect circle represents the eternal cycle of transformation - those bold colour segments (white, black, yellow, pink, blue) capturing different phases of spiritual evolution. That striking coral-red background? It's like having pure energy itself, while the geometric precision shows how sacred mathematics and spiritual symbolism dance together in perfect harmony.
Part of her groundbreaking Swan series, this bold masterpiece features the most striking coral-red background with a perfect geometric circle in white, black, yellow, pink, and blue. Those clean lines and sacred geometry? It's like she understood that swans aren't just graceful birds - they're symbols of transformation, and she painted that spiritual evolution with absolute minimalist genius!
