Geometry of the Spirit: A Virtual Art Exhibition
Welcome to a virtual exhibition dedicated to Hilma af Klint, one of the most visionary and groundbreaking figures in modern art. Set within a serene architectural space surrounded by snow-covered mountains, this digital exhibition invites you to encounter artworks that explore the spiritual, the abstract, and the unseen—decades before abstract art entered the mainstream.
This online exhibition presents three of Hilma af Klint’s most significant series—The Swan, The Ten Largest, and Altarpieces. In addition, the exhibition includes a separate section with selected works from other series and periods, offering a broader view of her artistic development and spiritual exploration.
The Exhibition Series
The Swan
In The Swan, Hilma af Klint explores duality and balance: light and darkness, matter and spirit, movement and stillness. Rich in symbolism and structure, the series unfolds as a visual meditation on opposing forces and their unity.
The Ten Largest
The Ten Largest is among Hilma af Klint’s most iconic and monumental works. Through vibrant color, organic forms, and rhythmic composition, the series depicts the stages of human life—from childhood to old age—on a grand, immersive scale.
Altarpieces
The Altarpieces present a more distilled and elevated expression. Geometric forms and spiritual symbolism come together in works that reflect Hilma af Klint’s search for order, transcendence, and universal harmony.
Additional Works
Alongside the three main series, the exhibition features a dedicated section of additional works. This selection highlights other aspects of Hilma af Klint’s practice and provides valuable context for her methods, recurring symbols, and long-term artistic vision.
A Space for Reflection and Discovery
This virtual exhibition is designed to be explored at your own pace, whether on desktop or mobile. Move freely through the space, approach the artworks closely, and allow time for contemplation. The surrounding landscape—snow-covered mountains, soft light, and architectural calm—enhances the sense that this is not merely a gallery, but a place for inner reflection.
Guided Tour Experience
In addition to free exploration, you may choose a guided virtual tour. Sit back and relax as you are automatically guided through the exhibition in a carefully curated sequence. During the tour, the exhibition texts are read aloud in order, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the artworks and their meanings without the need to navigate or read on your own.
