Fuchsia Discus

The engaging and energising piece “Fuchsia Discus” by Amara De Toriwas influenced by the traditional sculpture of the Discus Thrower. Theathlete in the artwork is shown tossing a discus, capturing the energyand motion of the sports activity.The artist’s interpretation of the ancient sculpture in a contemporarysetting is reflected by the use of a vivid fuchsia pink hue against a flatbackground of silver leaf. The vivid colour highlights the vigour andenthusiasm needed to excel in both sports and life. Amara’s fastidiousness in preserving the athlete’s shape and motiongives the image dynamism and depth, attracting the viewer’s attention tothe figure and its movements.
