Description

Touched by the Rainbow

In Touched by the Rainbow, Katharina Rubin captures a moment of inner transformation suspended between darkness and illumination. The figure emerges from a depth of shadow into a space of clarity, as if passing through a process of purification and awakening.

The gesture of the extended hand becomes central: a reaching toward color, light, and possibility. The rainbow is not merely visual — it symbolizes a state of understanding, a fragment of beauty that can be touched and carried beyond the self.

The work evokes a quiet but powerful shift: the moment when the soul, having moved through intensity and challenge, becomes lighter, clearer, and capable of sharing what it has gained.

Executed in oil on canvas with UV-reactive elements, the painting reveals an additional dimension under ultraviolet light. Fluorescent details intensify its sense of energy and transcendence, reinforcing the idea of dual presence — what is seen and what is felt beyond the visible.

With its cosmic atmosphere and symbolic language, Touched by the Rainbow stands as a meditation on renewal, elevation, and the subtle strength that follows inner clarity.
