Fuchsia Discus

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 color 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.
