The engaging and energising piece “Fuchsia Discus” by Amara De Tori
was influenced by the traditional sculpture of the Discus Thrower. The
athlete in the artwork is shown tossing a discus, capturing the energy
and motion of the sports activity.
The artist’s interpretation of the ancient sculpture in a contemporary
setting is reflected by the use of a vivid fuchsia pink hue against a flat
background of silver leaf. The vivid colour highlights the vigour and
enthusiasm needed to excel in both sports and life.
Amara’s fastidiousness in preserving the athlete’s shape and motion
gives the image dynamism and depth, attracting the viewer’s attention to
the figure and its movements.
