Artwork Description

about this Acrylic Sculpture

The POMEGRANATES FOREVER series was originally created in 2021 as a special collaboration with Canon. In 2024, Petra Kaltenbach reimagined the artworks in a bold Arab Pop aesthetic, reviving the concept with vibrant flair.

The design fuses a newly interpreted pomegranate form with an ancient motif, building a bridge between past and present. This dialogue of tradition and modernity forms the heart of the artwork’s symbolic and visual expression.

Crafted with precision, each sculpture features UV-printed imagery on the reverse side of a 4cm crystal-clear acrylic block. The acrylic's transparency creates captivating depth, enhancing color intensity and giving the work a distinct visual dimension.

The acrylic sculpture is freestanding, allowing it to command space with a sense of presence and refined sophistication. Its three-dimensional illusion invites the viewer to explore intricate layers and subtle artistic details from every angle.

The sleek, minimalist format allows the pomegranate’s vibrant symbolism to shine in a contemporary context. These sculptures are perfect for corporate gifts, art lovers, special occasions, luxury events, cultural institutions, high-end decorative displays, and meaningful tokens of appreciation. Every piece is presented in premium packaging, reinforcing its status as a collectible work of art.

In 2015, she fully transitioned into the arts, dedicating herself to painting, video art, and digital media.

Her creative practice blends traditional painting with emerging technologies such as QR codes, NFTs, and augmented reality. Petra often combines acrylic painting with UV printing, using Canon’s Arizona flatbed printer to layer vibrant digital imagery onto her canvases.

Petra’s art explores themes of transformation, psychological freedom, and human connection in today’s hyper-connected world. Inspired by Dubai’s rapid development, she reflects on the need for roots, structure, and authenticity in modern life. She often integrates symbols like the pomegranate, representing beauty, love, and unity between East and West, as a recurring motif of hope.

Her innovative approach has earned recognition across the region. In 2016, she was shortlisted for the International Emerging Artist Award. Her video art was projected on the Burj Khalifa in 2018, the same year she was named Best UAE Resident Artist at World Art Dubai.
